    The article i'm going to write about is: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/sep/30/google-street-view-map-antarctica
     

    So finally, Google StreetView expands again. This time in Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica. Surprisingly enough, I'm not a huge fan of GoogleStreetview (Tech-nerd as I am). I think it's a bit unnessecary, cause let's be honest: to know where a certain place is, you don't need to see what it looks like from a humans perspective. You need a map, Sattelite if you're really want it, but no human's perspective. It's also a privacy-issue: once Google StreetView hits the entire world, you can pretty much be followed around where ever you go. I wouldn't like that. But beside that, there's another thing that bothers me a bit aswell. Why in the hell, would you create 'StreetView' in a country with barely any streets? I think the argument that Ed Parsons brings up is kind of weak. If you want to see how pinguins look like in Antarctica, you can always use Google and look up Pinguins... Hell you'll even be using another feature out of the Google co. array! But obviously , there's some positive sides the the whole Streetview project. If you can see from human's perspective, you can see monuments without having to go out of your house, not even your seat! And if you're planning to make a citytrip, you can check where it's crowded and where it's not , check out Hotels and see if the advertisement online is what it says it is.
    So Google StreetView may have its upsides and downsides, it's a feature that's going to be used alot.
    The only question is if it's actually going to be up worldwide eventually.

    I am really shocked by reading this. I knew that there isn’t many place on a boat and that the food is most of all very bad but I didn’t know that the men were living in such bad conditions. They were also not paid with money but in boxes of “trash” fish and I think that is really a shame! Maybe there's a solution: stop eating fish so that there could not happened things like this. But then is the question: what about the legal fishermen? It is very shocking news because we can’t do anything about it! First of all it happens on the sea and second : they are often backed by shell companies, which makes their real owners hard to trace and law enforcement extremely difficult! So maybe the next time when we buy fish, we first must check where it comes from!

    I saw this picture and I thought that it might be interesting.
    Here you can see a man doing something that only spiderman would do,
    Cleaning your windows 34 storeys up!
    At first sight it looks pretty funny ,but I think that it is rather stupid.
    This man just can't see the consequences.One wrong step, and he's dead.
    I think that there are 2 possibilities;
    1.He is an idiot
    2.He has lost a bet
    (or a combination of the two)
    Maybe the other residents can hire him for a good price.
    Fortunately the man safely came back to his room.
    In any case, you won't find a picture of me doing that.And if you will please send a message.


    I also wonder how they have taken that picture...

    Best regards  jens

    Someone who dies when  doing the thing they love is sad to see. Some people say it’s better to die doing what you love, then die alone or ill. But I don’t think that jumping from a building and not getting your parachute open is the way you want to die. I can’t think of a more horrible ending than smashing on the ground with 100 miles an hour. We’re talking about a women with a lot of experience, it was her third jump of the day. The management said they took all the safety measures they had to, so it probably is her own fault. Maybe she got a bit careless with her equipment because she was over excited or too sure of herself. Anyway, it’s a tragedy.
