I don't care if someone has a picture of the front of my house, but I don't want them to advertise that key to my front door hangs beside the mailbox (it doesn't really). <br /><br />I am also puzzled by the identification of security risks, and the lack of responsibility to make some correction. Perhaps it is easy to secure routers, should this be where the privacy commissioner steps in to make requirements of industry - not just telling them to delete information they shouldn't have, no less collecting it in an ethically questionable manner?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868843747266438067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-86658238004521209192010-10-20T17:06:08.147-04:002010-10-20T17:06:08.147-04:00Identity theft is awful.

Not sure whether that is ignorance on my part or because this just seems to be part and parcel of life these days.<br /><br />I second Cloudia's question: what constitutes an 'unsecured router'?<br /><br />In a different vein, all the hoo-ha about Facebook and information and security: People, don't publish -anything- on the Internet that you aren't willing to share with the universe.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />Oh and Street View is brilliant - we used it a LOT when we were looking for flats for Mr H that were 450 miles away, it saved a lot of wasted miles and property viewing time!<br /><br />J.Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930937754917509956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-7084439149471179172010-10-20T00:29:14.413-04:002010-10-20T00:29:14.413-04:00I have to say there is an irony in your posting th...I have to say there is an irony in your posting this on a google run blog site. (or maybe not irony because it would seem I am not sure anymore it means what I think it means.) <br />As for the privacy, although it is my feeling that if you don't know how to secure your wifi, you may want to pay somebody to do so, and in fact if it were me I would be soooo much more pissed at the place that had my name from a medical trial on an open network for all to see than for google getting said info. <br />That being said, why was google actually gathering this information? What purpose did they have in having a mobile wireless network in the first place? I would think one would have an easier time wiring in said cameras than running them wi-fi.<br /><br />In closing, in the immortal words of Tom Bodett, Wi-Fi stands for Wireless "Fi" ahh something."The Gearheadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564835854830223423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-57685559505871703582010-10-19T23:59:05.539-04:002010-10-19T23:59:05.539-04:00You show us what's "goin` on" Carmi!...You show us what's "goin` on" Carmi!<br /><br /><br />My wireless router requires a code, is that secure?<br /><br />Aloha from Hawaii<br /><br /><a href="http://comfortspiral.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Comfort Spiral</a><br /><br />><}}(°>Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-25541972881116664962010-10-19T21:49:31.672-04:002010-10-19T21:49:31.672-04:00I'm so desensitized to lack of privacy.

I am a huge google fan, and especially of checking out streets, where I lived, where I want to live, if I'm bored and can't take a real trip! As for privacy-the moment we are born our privacy is at risk no matter what really, and still can be after our death. Don't you agree? We can always count on death, taxes and privacy issues.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-48606919010378871702010-10-19T18:55:33.610-04:002010-10-19T18:55:33.610-04:00Nope, an apology is not enough, who is to say the ...Nope, an apology is not enough, who is to say the 'mistake' won't happen again...
