This is a Google Street View shot from Finland of a guy playing shake the dice by himself in his backyard. I think there might be a better shot of it out there somewhere (why would you want that?) but it looks like it’s already been removed from Google Maps . I think this is the after shot. The sad, sad after shot. Google Street View Thanks to Bret, who swears he doesn’t hunt Google Maps looking for this sort of thing. Suuuuure you don’t, Bret.

Allegedly Google plans to feature the interiors of participating retail stores on Google Maps . Because, well, I’m not really sure why. Something to do with controlling the world though, that’s a given. The report comes from Search Engine Land, which was contacted by a New York company called Oh Nuts. Apparently the almond-monger recently got a visit from camera-toting Google guys, who photographed their entire store, six feet at a time, in every direction. So essentially, you’d be able to see a storefront in Street View, click on it, and check out the interior for inventory, cleanliness, layout, etc. Interesting, Google, but you know what would be even more helpful? Live webcams in Victoria’s Secret dressing rooms. That would be huge. And speaking of huge — go ahead and throw some in the plus-size stores as well. I LIKE ‘EM THICK! I’m serious — if I can’t stand comfortably in one leg of a woman’s panties I….throw that pair back and try another dryer. Google Wants to Add Store Interiors to Maps [gizmodo] Thanks to Craig, who’s only interested in pet store cams. Keep the tips coming, Craig!

A group of angry villagers in Broughton, England chased off a Google Street View car because they feared an invasion of privacy and increased crime in the area. “I was upstairs when I spotted the camera car driving down the lane,” resident Paul Jacobs told The Times of London. “My immediate reaction was anger: How dare anyone take a photograph of my home without my consent? I ran outside to flag the car down and told the driver he was not only invading our privacy but also facilitating crime. “This is an affluent area. We’ve already had three burglaries locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are plastered all over Google it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to make a stand, so I called the police.” Just to be fair, I broke into Mr. Jacob’s home and stole his valuables and last bowl of cereal just to prove that, even without Street View, The Geekologie Writer will still rob you blind. But seriously, Paul, if you could pick up some more Raisin Nut Bran, that would be awesome. Gang of villagers chase away Google car [cnn] Thanks to Brad, who once chased a Google Street View car six blocks before he realized it was a pizza delivery guy.
