No, sadly (if this is what you're concerned about), the definition of invasion of privacy has nothing to do with whether you're inside your house, or whether you've consented to anything or not... It has to do with what you choose to put into plain view and what you choose to keep out of plain view; and clearly, this woman's cat is in plain view of the street and, therefore, she doesn't have any basis to complain about a loss of privacy. Sorry.
While I appreciate wild and unfounded speculation as much as the rest of the American public, I am truly sick of speculation that Apple is going to buy every other company that does something innovative. Can't Apple and Nintendo both just lead their own separate lives as independent, interesting, innovative companies?
I've been house hunting in Silicon Valley recently: when a 1,000 sqare foot house with no yard is selling for over a million dollars with multiple offers, you can be sure that the "grunts" out in the Bay Area are doing quite well (at least in absolute dollar terms).
