Googlemobile Got By German GPS Pranksters
Remember when Google rolled out its Street View feature and everybody was suddenly up-in-arms about their privacy? Well, the tables were recently turned for a day in Germany. According to Mashable, some Berlin artists known as the Free Art & Technology (F.A.T.) group secretly attached a GPS device to one of Google's Street View cars over the weekend. In a hilarious bit of irony, the pranksters posted a Google map on their site, which tracked the car's movements around the city. The map updated every two minutes so that Berlin residents could check it and avoid being caught on camera. But somebody from Google must have pretty quickly noticed that the company car was being tracked, because the device went offline the same day it was planted. Nonetheless, you can still check out the map and see where the car went.At least now, a few Google employees know how it feels to be watched. We're sure it won't make the company rethink its voyeuristic ways, but it might make folks who've been caught in compromising situations by Street View feel a little better. [From: Mashable]
