What would google be doing driving by here with an antenna on their auto

[madokie]

just caught my eye as I looked out the window. A little car with something sticking up from the top so I pay attention and as it goes by I see it has a google sticker on the door. Google is building a large data center that if it wasn't for trees in the way I could see it from here. We only have one service provider here in our little town that charges us 40 bucks a month for what is marginal at best dsl. 450 kbps. Could google start offering us a plan now, I could only hope.

1. Probably mapping streets.

2. Sounds like the Google Street camera vehicle.

If you go to google maps and look at a big city, you'll find they have 3d pics of most of their streets taken from a vehicle.

Here in Minneapolis they have about 3/4 of the city completed.

Here's an article about the Google Street View car

5. No the antenna looked like a wifi antenna on steriods and not a camera

Everyone who is working on their project is sworn to secrecy which makes me wonder what are they doing. They bought 800 acres of our industrial park which is no small size chunk of land

4. mind control

they're broadcasting on a wavelength that makes people in the vicinity more susceptible to subliminal messages embedded in google advertisements.

6. so that would explain my strong desire to switch back to google from ask.com

I'll see if I can fight the urge off though, thanks for the heads up on that 'cause now I might have a fighting chance to do just that;-)
