I think it's hysterical that just Sarah Chalke is blurred out. Maybe she's blurred on the bus, not by google ;-) .-= jami´s last blog ..<a href="http://pghsfavoritejami.blogspot.com/2009/07/jami-just-had-to-share-this.html" rel="nofollow">Jami Just Had to Share This</a> =-.

Too funny, I never knew it existed until last night and here's your post! :) Did you do your house yet? I did mine and my car is out front in some of the shots. As you move through the scenes, they do use different takes from the same areas so in one shot something will be there but if you turn it the items disappear. I'm still looking to see someone I know! Very cool, indeed. .-= BeccA's Buzz´s last blog ..<a href="http://beccagirlblogspot.blogspot.com/2009/07/hello-friday.html" rel="nofollow">Hello, Friday!</a> =-.

When Streetview first came out, there were people concerned over their privacy (you could make the argument that they're visible from a public space, so they're fair game). Google responded with some automatic software that analyzes the photos for face-like shapes and blurs them, automatically. Why didn't it recognize the other people's faces? No idea -- perhaps they were broken up enough by the shapes on the bus. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9943140-7.html I don’t think it was a “had to”.
