Happy Father’s Day!

Yes, it’s that time of year again.  It’s Father’s Day.  Tell your dad you love him.

In honor of Father’s Day, I’ll be bringing you some good tech news for a change.  Google Streetview actually did something useful.

Yes, that’s right.  According to The Groninger Courant newspaper, one of Google’s Streetview camera cars captured a mugging in progress while snapping pics of Groningen … last September.  And did nothing.  In March the victim found the photo on Streetview and contacted the police.  Because the photos were blurred the police had to contact Google for unblurred copies.  Which Google obligingly sent to the police.  And now, thanks to Google’s Streetview (sort of) the muggers are identified.  (And hopefully arrested.)

See?  It’s good news.  Kind of…

Happy Father’s Day!
