Google is Watching You, Literally

Yahoo News reports that Google is now offering satellite images that will allow users to zoom in on businesses and private residences.

The satellite technology, which Google began offering late Monday at http://maps.google.com, is part of the package that the Mountain View-based company acquired when it bought digital map maker Keyhole Corp. for an undisclosed amount nearly six months ago.

This marks the first time since the deal closed that Google has offered free access to Keyhole's high-tech maps through its search engine. Users previously had to pay $29.95 to download a version of Keyhole's basic software package.

Now, if I go to the new Google feature and refer to my "Map of the Stars" I see that Paris Hilton lives right about....oooooo.
