Google faces multi-state investigation in the U.S. over Wi-Fi fiasco. Should it?
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsYou know, I'm somewhat conflicted when it comes to this Google story. Yesterday it emerged that France had discovered that Google's Street View cars had surreptitiously collected private citizens' passwords and other sensitive data. Today we've learned that several states here in the U.S., led by Connecticut, plan to investigate Google over this whole Wi-Fi fiasco. Normally you don't want giant corporations driving around the countryside collecting private information on unsuspecting citizens, right? But does anyone really think that Google is “up to no good” here?

France says that Google collected private passwords during Street View mapping
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No CommentsThe question now becomes, how much trouble will Google get in for its wanton stealing of private data? You'll recall that Google was caught collecting data from people's open Wi-Fi access points, something the company just sorta brushed off. Google shrugged its shoulders and said, “meh, whatever, we didn't do anything wrong here.” If only the various governments of the world saw it that way. France, fresh off its World Cup farce, says that Google's Street View vehicles collected people's passwords as they drove about—not cool, no.

Wikitude Drive AR nav app beta announced, available in Android Market (video)
Posted on May 20, 2010 | No Comments
With all the action going down at Google I/0 you can be excused for missing this latest tidbit: the folks behind Wikitude have made the beta version of Drive (their augmented reality personal navigation app) available for free for 2,000 users. And we just got our hands on it, so we know that there are at least a few downloads left at the Android Market. The full-featured demo sports NAVTEQ map data, both AR street view and 3D map view, worldwide coverage, voice commands, and both driving and walking directions. There's no word yet on when the final version will be released, so this might be your last chance for a while to play with what's stacking up to look like a pretty decent application. See the thing in action and check out the PR yourself after the break.Continue reading Wikitude Drive AR nav app beta announced, available in Android Market (video)

Nokia Image Space: like Google Maps Street View, but you’re doing the work
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No CommentsNokia's added an interesting new collaborative picture-sharing tool to its Beta Labs stable this week with the introduction of Image Space, which -- like our headline suggests -- is kind of like a crowdsourced Street View as best as we can tell. The idea is that you upload photos to your Flickr account from a GPS- and compass-enabled Nokia phone (the N97 and N97 Mini, for instance) and head on over to Nokia's tool, where the photo metadata is read and used along with others' shots to construct a three-dimensional view of the area. Of course, the key to the success of a product like this is mass buy-in, so c'mon, Nokia owners, these pictures aren't taking themselves -- get outside and start shooting. Follow the break for a quick official intro of the system.
