From TechnologyExpert: Ex: Mob Keeps Google Street View Car From Taking Pictures

From the article: “Be proactive: rather than protest the inclusion of your residence in Google’s Street View with a lawsuit afterwards, keep the Street View car from taking pictures in the first place. That’s what happened in the U.K., in Broughton, in Buckinghamshire, where a mob kept a Street View car from taking pictures.”

Way past time someone stood up to this unnecessary invasion of personal privacy…

Ok, we all get those annoying 419 scam letters (you know, like, “you are eligible to receive the sum of $7,500,000.00 USD (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) regarding to an over-due Inheritance / Award payment which was fully endorsed to be paid in your favor”), but the one I got this afternoon cracked me up. It has an “official” FBI letter of authentication:

<sarcasm>Wow…if it wouldn’t be for the “United States Goverment” and “Governmen of Nigeria” typos (consistency, scammers, consistency…), I’d be sure the letter is legitimate.</sarcasm>

Seriously…does anyone fall for this crap?
