The name of the Big Brother beast is the GORG....

They just keep invading everything on privacy, until some government(eg. Germany,Canada) bitch slaps them and then they back off a bit.

Until the next time they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar!

Google's roving Street View spycam may blur your face, but it's got your number. The Street View service is under fire in Germany for scanning private WLAN networks, and recording users' unique Mac (Media Access Control) addresses, as the car trundles along.

Germany's Federal Commissioner for Data Protection Peter Schaar says he's "horrified" by the discovery.
