How to erase the world, the easy way
Saturday, March 7th, 2009I was having a gander at some of my RSS feeds and came across this little gem. This isn’t the first time Google ran into trouble in terms of mapping the world. China had a thing to say or two about their military installations showing up on Google Maps. Now it seems, it’s Google Earth’s turn to take some heat. Under the anti-terrorism banner, the influential state of California wishes to airbrush some key sensitive areas that could be prone to a terrorist attack.
Unfortunately, I would imagine many structures would fall under this category, which would mean California would be reduced to a white blob ala Area 51 with a smattering of greenery and highways that seemingly leads to nowhere.
They could take it one-step further and erase an entire country. Is North Korea giving you some trouble? No problem, dig out the Paint Bucket tool to start from scratch and then use the Clone tool with a country of choice.
Who needs politicians to solve world problems anyway?
