"Street View. This is the new site by any American company. The post photos of your house into the net and everyone can see it, everyone! "-" That is so outrageous. Something like one stop in Germany. My house has no one to care. Least of all the amino's. The only think back on it's own profit and not to the citizens. "

Either way this could be a dialog between the supermarket checkout waiting customers, while the one at the front and finally pulls out next to the cash and a Payback card. Points indicated. Kriegste indeed what the money back.

Anyone who has read the short story as above: it is about Street View. The devil service from Google. 20 cities have so far been put online. It will then remain. end with Street View in Germany . The Internet giant has decided to no longer offer this service in Germany. I can well imagine why. Many people wanted to leave her house Pixelize. They were probably so many that it is simply not worth it anymore for Google to do with your work. The care of the material is probably so big that you get the money no longer purely with displays in the pictures can. Too bad, I would have Street View in Germany like to see completely.

But this shows again an image of Germany. A picture of a country that is no new innovation opportunity to thrive. A country in which the bureaucratic hurdles are simply too high. Is it any wonder, then, that in Germany there is virtually no great websites out there? Facebook, Google, LinkedIn. All Ami's. Oh no wait, there's so XING, the studies were not. The latter are also as good as history .

It could also be that Google runs a slightly different strategy with Street View in Germany. It stops the service here and hoping that the people now but for "reason" is. Especially with Microsoft Streetside now wants to photograph the streets. Were so big protest like Street View yet. Possible white because it has not been published so publicly, as in Street View? Or maybe Germany has come a bit to calm down?

Protest to the street view, I could never understand. Roads are also photographed for many years. Although not by corporate giants, but of other small companies. For example, at RUHR.2010 when you could walk on the highway. No one knew about it until you've seen the car itself. If you look closely, you could probably read when entering the highway on a sign the fine print. But anyone reading this? Honestly?

The question is: Is that the better method? "What you know makes a non-hot". Is it better to leave people in ignorance, rather than inform them. When nothing was pixelated RUHR.2010 way. Got it. Each was seen.

But one thing is certain: Germany is not an innovation state. At least not when it comes to the issue of new media. Everything should remain as the best, just do not change. This is reflected by the way is also reflected in German politics. Exudation. If at some point be over.

("The [Payback] card is especially consumer associations privacy politically controversial, the card enables the Crystal Customers;..

All of Germany is in the Lena fever and just celebrating the 18-year-old (omfg who is younger than me) young artist. Whether one likes the song or not is up to you. To me, personally, the song slowly out of the ears, but the course does not change the fact that one is proud of his country (no, this has nothing to do with Nazis). Stefan Raab has not lied when he said it would be difficult to win the ESC as a football champion to be, because: The ESC we have only 2 times won the World Cup we won pretty often.

In the words but our beloved Guenther Beckstein, in a speech in front of senior public :

The game Counter-Strike was developed by the U.S. Army to reduce the threshold for violence among the soldiers. Such games are not only censored, but prohibited!

With the bursting of the real collar soon. On the one hand would be to find fault with this quote (and there are some things to complain about), that Counter-Strike, or as us geeks Shaka briefly referred to as CS-far developed by the U.S. Army was. No, the game was developed by Valve, which have no contact with the Army (I say now simply). I would be interested to know what Valve says to himself ... No, our Becki probably meant the game Americas Army . This game was in fact developed by the Army. But ...
