Big Brother could actually be her indoors, to use the British term for a female spouse. The Sun [UK] reports that a snooping wife was doing the electronic version of twitching curtains (Googling her friend’s house) when she spotted her hubby’s motor parked outside. “The love cheat is not the only husband trapped by Google’s controversial new 360-degree photo search which covers 25 cities and towns throughout the country. Top media lawyer Mark Stephens said: ‘I was talking about the Range Rover case when another divorce lawyer came up to say his firm was dealing with the same sort of thing. People are getting caught out on Google.'”

    Not to point out the obvious, but it is open public space and anyone passing by could see the vehicle. How about you just sleep with your wife unless you and she have that kinda arrangement. Shouldn’t be too tough.

    Translation: Next time, park on the next block.

    This guy sounds like a real genius. He’s doing her friends, that’s keeping it too close to home. Message to offender, pick up a random stranger at a bar, take her to the Holiday Inn, and you’re all set.

    Now you see there. Not much ingenuity needed to avoid getting caught. The guy was just being lazy. No effort put in for the hunt, no effort put in to cover the situation. Really the guy was asking for it.

    I actually signed up for Google Latitude. Now my wife knows where I am every minute of the day. The only question I get asked is “Do you really spend two hours at Starbucks?” to which the answer is “Actually, yes”

    It actually makes things less stressful, in a way.

    Google street view is fun. There was a street in Pittsburgh that got together as a community to stage all kinds of random when the camera came by.

    But seriously guys, The Sun? Why not cite The National Enquirer for a story next time?

    Dude, if you stress out over your wife wanting to know where you are, I seriously feel for you.

    My DW never needs to know where I’ve been at X:00 hour of the day. Ever.

    It’s more a case of “Are you near _____? Can you pick up _____?” these days.

    It evolved from “Are you lying in a ditch somewhere?” because a) she’s got that Irish-Catholic dread that results in you assuming any phone-call after 9pm is someone dying and b) I actually was stranded in a ditch in Northern Ontario once—for about a day—and it freaked her out righteously.

    Yep, sound like something my home town would do, especially after a Steelers win.

    Any idea where one could see that? Sounds cool!
