“Google plans to add Skybox imagery to Google Maps.” – D Jennings

Private companies like Google now have the legal right to use the kind of spy satellite technology once reserved for agencies like the NSA.

Our homes have been on Google for years, but the detail was limited to objects no larger than about 20 inches. Last year the US Department of Commerce lifted restrictions that essentially allow companies like Google and Microsoft (which owns Bing) to show images to the world as small as 12 inches.

Imagery taken is now for sale at DigitalGlobe’s website. Continue reading →
