The T-Mobile G1’s Google Maps Street View implementation is one of the slickest features of the first Android phone, but it looks like Apple’s going to keep feature parity — the latest builds of iPhone OS 2.2 seeded to developers have Street View, as well as the ability to give mass transit directions. That’s pretty useful for cityfolk like us — and we’re also stoked that line-in audio is now supported in the SDK, giving devs the ability to create voice recorders and other interesting audio apps. Of course, there’s no word on when 2.2 will actually arrive, but until then we suppose we’ll live with regular, non-data-augmented streets. Lots of screenshots of the new features at the read link.

Steven Jobs’ Mercedes on Google Maps Street View (Images)

While checking out a site that I have been looking at a lot lately I came across something so ridiculous that I can’t believe I’m even taking the time on a Sunday night when The Simpson’s are on to write this.

It seems that the picture above is apparently Steven Jobs‘ Mercedes. First off, we can’t be sure that it’s his Mercedes in the first place, and second, who cares if it is his!

I have to admit I have been on this site where there are a lot of funny Street View pictures quite a bit but this one just made me laugh how dumb it was. The other ones on the site are pretty hilarious however.

P.S. Don’t forget the Jobs will be speaking at the WWDC tomorrow morning!

Paris Hilton’s new jail cell is her luxury home (Images)

If I was a millionaire….

I would buy Paris Hilton a much smaller shittier house. Possibly an exact replica of a prison cell.

Hilton was recently sentenced to 45 days in jail, which we are now all aware only turned into about 3 days. This was of course after she was caught for boozin’ and cruisin’.

Since she was released from prison early she is now ordered to remain at home and wear an ankle bracelet. Oh no! That’s terrible. You mean she has to stay in her crummy $1.7 million West Hollywood home!? I mean it’s only a 4 bedroom, 3 bath 2707 square foot luxury palace.

That’s horrible, I feel for ya Paris. It’s going to be tough for her to figure out what to do, tennis, swim in the pool, watch a movie in the home theatre.

Such a ruff life!

Thong Girl is still my #1 pic from Google Street View. (Images)

If I was a millionaire…

I would pay for a massive campaign to hold a contest to see who can find, if not create themselves, the funniest, most wacky Google Street View image.

The Google Street View feature raises some interesting, and scary, privacy issues. So far there are only a few major U.S. cities enabled with the technology for panoramic views of streets.

Mashable.com has released, in their opinion, the top 15 Street View sightings so far. I’m sure there will be many more to come, and they probably would have put the thong girl first if they had known about her when this list was made.

You can check out all kinds of great pictures from Google Street View Sightings.

Google Maps new street view reviels more than just streets! (Images)

If I were a millionaire…

I would buy the girl seen in this Google Maps Streets View page a belt, so that her ass doesn’t have to hang out and show her thong anymore (although she does have a nice ass).

Does anyone else here think that this new Streets View is just a little creepy? I bet we are 5 years or less from it all being live video…. now you scared?

Please share any interested things you find on Streets View and comment with a link.
