    If only the Goomobile could get some nice shots of Montreal's nightlife. Grungepunk faux-french-o-morphs sitting in trash cans asking to spare a loony or two, and drunken hockyphiles standing in intersections asking for a lighter is a charming tapestry.

    It would be even *more* clever if the company worked with Google on a 2D barcode design for the front and back, which would be picked up during image processing and automatically "blur" you or something.

    Not that I care if I'm seen on Google Streetview (do we really have any privacy anymore? Umm.....) but it would be a cool hack anyway. And totally doable - it would be something like those special bar-codes you can look at with your phone-cam to get product info.

    I want a shirt that sounds an alarm when a Google van is nearby. It should then dissolve in preparation for me to strike a manly pose.

    In reply to Google Street View Captures Guy Getting Ready To Do Something Disgusting on a DC Street
    I went up the street and then back down, taking screenshots of the guy from different points.

    Made a collage but can't seem to upload the image! (weird, it's a .jpg that's only 42k - but keeps reading "Error while uploading file, retry?").

    Oh well. Anyway, you can see the guy looking at something in his hands close to his face, and then he appears to lean over to fill out whatever's on the paper.

    ...still doesn't explain the pants though, but at least you could see that he's not taking a dump.

    EDIT: I'm not 100% certain, but I think his pants are actually up until he leans over to start filling out the paper. :P

    After living in DC for several years, sadly this is not uncommon to see.

    For anybody planning on moving to the DC metro area (lots of jobs there), please only consider areas south, west, and northwest of DC. Anywhere else, and you're going to regret it.

    @Gundem: No, the pic was taken with my cheap LG work phone....considering the muck and scratches on the lens, I'm surprised it comes out clear at all.
    There's another shot down the block behind me where I first saw the GSV car...indecently, the angle of the pic which shows the rear of my car also makes my license plate legible.

    People don't seem to notice because it's completely normal in DC - seriously, I work there.

    Well at least we didn't really see what he was about to do in the picture. I was on the A train once and unfortunately saw a homeless guy pull his pants down right on the doorway, and take a dump/diarrhea, about 5 feet away from me.
