» TSG: Couple Sues Google Over "Street View"

Some people are just totally confounded by technology:

Pittsburgh couple is suing Google for invasion of privacy, claiming that the web giant's popular "Street View" mapping feature has made a photo of their home available to online searchers. Aaron and Christine Boring accuse Google of an "intentional and/or grossly reckless invasion" of their seclusion and privacy since they live on a street that is "clearly marked with a 'Private Road' sign,"

Click here for some photos of the Boring property, which is now even easier to locate via Google Maps, since the plaintiffs included their home address on the lawsuit's first page. And while they are litigating, perhaps the Borings should consider suing Allegheny County's Office of Property Assessments, which includes a photo of their home (which was built in 1916 and sits on 1.82 acres) on its web site.

I'm only disappointed that Google's Street View of Houston is limited to mostly the major artery streets.

CORRECTION: Well, well, Google did do some more drive-bys in Houston. Funny thing, though. They apparently skipped over large portions of Gulfton. Guess they just weren't brave enough for that.
