Google takes cow privacy seriously!!
#1
Google, when it was mapping the world's streets, came across some cows. Naturally, it sought to take their privacy seriously! One cow had its face blurred for anonymity. Smiley34 79 Smiley36

See: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambr...e-37378007

The best part is that Google does not lack humour in mocking its own action. This is how its representative responded, full of lovely puns:

"We thought you were pulling the udder one when we herd the moos, but it's clear that our automatic face-blurring technology has been a little overzealous.

"Of course, we don't begrudge this cow milking its five minutes of fame."

Smiley4 79 Smiley58 Google is always good for a laugh. 

Actually this is good. Their facial recognition software recognized the cow's face as a face and automatically blurred it. Computers recognize cows as "people". Also it tells us that when we encounter the Google Streetview Car our privacy will be protected.
I encounter them fairly often. Toronto gets updated frequently. Even my own street gets updated regularly.

Is there anywhere Google has not been?
