I'm leaning towards Google now cause when their spying on you, it's only to make a buck. | |

Well at least tho it only takes pictures of public areas outside people's homes and businesses.

And besides some money, what else is Google paying to the US for use of the satellite - some search data perhaps.

GeoEye is a commercial venture, right? What does taxpayer funding have to do with this? »www.geoeye.com/CorpSite/corporat···ult.aspx
The Gov't contracted with GeoEye and Google contracted with GeoEye. GeoEye thinks that it's good to have an exclusive deal with Google.
Build your own satellite and sell the data to whomever you want. | |

| | | | | | Re: When does the whistleblower claim that Google works for NSA? Yes, the satellite was built with money that the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency once owned, but they paid that money to GeoEye so that they could get real-time satellite imagery from GeoEye. Did you expect GeoEye to just give the government the data for free? Don't believe in the free-enterprise system? Would you be happier if the government simply took the information from GeoEye without compensation? Maybe, in your world, we should all just bow down to the government and give them all our earnings and just be happy to live. Have a good day comrade. | |
|
| | Yippie!!! Now I can see my roof in greater detail!
I actually prefer MS MapPoint, where the satellite image is angled to where you can actually recognize landmarks. | |

Actually the title of this item is misleading. It was a satellite built for and funded by the US Gov't spy agencies. Google gets rights to slightly lower resolution images and the money they pay will help underwrite the costs of the system.

| | Quality limitations "GeoEye-1 will be able to capture images at .41 meters (16 inches) resolution in black and white and 1.65 meters (5.5 feet) in color, but under current government rules, the company can only offer the public half-meter (1.64 feet) images."
I would love to see the ".41 meters (16 inches)". That would surely be interesting.

| | Not that great resolution Compared with the resolution of imagery that google already has on major cities from aircraft based cameras, this will be markedly underwhelming. However it will bring all remote areas of the globe up to a decent minimum resolution. | |
