Did some of their photos get removed because it showed people getting arrested and others gettings sick on the streets?

I'm in 2 minds about this situation:

1) Hope I never see the fcuking thing (or it never sees me)
2) HELICOPTERRRRR!

Discodog · 23-03-2009 11:47AM

Now what would be funny would be to follow the crew of the Google car & get some images of them in the pub, in the jacks etc. They must be staying locally. Like when someone got a cherry picker & filmed though Kelvin McKensie's windows when he was editor of the Sun.

HoPpiE · 23-03-2009 02:02PM

It passed me today while I was sitting at a bus stop in Eyre Sq.

Was a red Astra.

JIZZLORD · 23-03-2009 08:06PM

note to self: stalk HoPpiE

KevR · 24-03-2009 05:07PM

Will be cool to have a Google street view of Galway. I'm not bothered if I'm in any of the images.

Mam told me that there's some "internet car" going around taking pictures of people. Asked what to look out for owing to the "internet, it's full of paedo's and psychos? God what would they do with the images?".

Damn you Goolge, terrifying our technological illiterate aul wans!

Sponge Bob · 25-03-2009 01:36PM

Bright red astra , google sticker on rear right passenger door .

Rayne · 25-03-2009 02:03PM

AHHHH I just saw it!!

Was driving up to the shop (in Moycullen), live on a small 'one car only' road and he came flying toward me!!!

I look like this :eek: on it! I can't wait until it goes live!!!

It would be cool to follow him! Red Astra with big long pole coming out the top!

Soooo cool, I'm so excited!!

Sponge Bob · 25-03-2009 04:54PM

It is doing Connemara all week . Once it finishes it will do Galway and then it is off to Limerick

It will take until the autumn to process the pictures and fuzz up peoples faces before it releases the streetview walkthroughs

First time a search engine ever went looking for ole Sponge Bob and it found him lurking by the roadside out past Bushypark .

It feels very ****ing odd ...honest

JohnCleary · 25-03-2009 06:54PM

They're doing Connemara? That's nuts... any idea what routes they're doing? Thought they'd only do cities

cornbb · 25-03-2009 09:54PM

Damn, I know this sounds pathetic but I think it would be so much fun to catch that thing passing by and give it a big wave or give it the finger or something!

Here are a few snaps of people who were quick with their phone cameras when they saw the BigBrotherMobile passing by... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/24/surveillance_feedback_loop/page2.html

Rayne · 26-03-2009 12:35AM

I wish I had my camera out... He just came at me tooooo fast!!!

I'd like that job, driving around, all day, exploring new areas!

JIZZLORD · 26-03-2009 12:45AM

i wonder did they get a pic of the dude manhandling his man handle out by the castle

I cannot say but I can confirm that boreens in Bushypark Barna Moycullen and Spiddal are of high importance in a super secret project and that cities will be done.

All of Connemara is certainly more important that Castle Park which is a 6.30am in June 'special project' as is Mulhuddart , Tallaght , Darndale , Most of Limerick , North Cork etc .

Google are sticking to safe and pleasant areas in daylight hours , for now . They will do the cities when it is safe to do so !

Sponge Bob · 26-03-2009 09:44AM

Spotted him again today , the google sticker has now been removed from the car for some reason. He was parked up at Furbo beach waiting for the rain to stop and with the camera covered.

Spotted it at about 8.45 in Spiddal - same as above - waiting for the rain to go - think he'll be doing that a lot today!

cornbb · 26-03-2009 12:30PM

Very unusual that they're covering Spiddal. There isn't even high-resolution of that place on Google Earth (not the last time I checked anyway).

po0k · 26-03-2009 01:33PM

watch

Skyuser · 26-03-2009 01:37PM

They should wait until there is a bit of decent weather in may/june....not to make us look bad.
