Google Gets Exclusive Rights To Your Pants
« on: September 08, 2008, 04:57 PM »
Google have exclusive rights to satellite images powerful enough to see the color of your shorts.

According to the company, the GeoEye-1 satellite is the highest resolution commercial satellite orbiting the planet right now. It reached orbit yesterday, but in reality, it's not an ordinary commercial satellite: it's fully controlled by the Department of Defense's U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. And two guys named Larry and Sergei.

Part of the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency NextView program, the SUV-sized GeoEye-1 launched yesterday in a Delta II 7326 rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California—without exploding. Hours later, GeoEye's ground station in Norway confirmed that the rocket had delivered its payload right on target. The satellite was alive, fully armed and operational on its 423-mile orbit above the Earth.

If I were one of the wives of those two guys, I would be concerned about what sites are they looking at during work :P

And if I were a shareholder, I would be concerned too, wasting precious money just so see my pants :D
