If that picture was taken in Canada, all the faces would be blurred out.

csmattryder• 14 years ago

I think this is a special case, I have friends who were caught by the car, and they looks like amorphous blobs on Google Street View.

nchlswu• 14 years ago

The filtering process actually takes a long time, so my guess is this is an exception for these employees (who probably had to sign waivers)

mdwelsh• 14 years ago

Google is intentionally not blurring the faces on these images.

Here's Google's Seattle office, same deal - no faces blurred. http://goo.gl/maps/h5mYC

aquarin• 14 years ago

This is some kind of local filtering rule. If you travel along the street, outside of this small area all people faces are blurred.

A bit creepy. Stupid German laws...

veidr• 14 years ago

Totally! That is technologically impressive (from the machine perspective), and completely creepy (from the human perspective).

We have the same laws in Japan; I wonder where else?

amurmann2• 14 years ago

Why is it stupid? Some people value their privacy and that's something that's more wide spread in Germany.

peterwwillis3• 14 years ago

They should print out pictures of faces of German politicians who enacted the law and wear them as masks in protest

So this is the place my Google check comes from :-) (Gordon House)

citricsquid• 14 years ago

The most interesting thing for me is that is a representation of $160,000,000 outgoing a year for Google and presumably even more in (assuming the average employee makes $80k/year and that there are 2,000 people working at that building).

raverbashing3• 14 years ago

The average employee there certainly takes less home per year and also pays a hefty income tax.

dasil003• 14 years ago

Income tax is irrelevant to Google's cost. So is take-home pay to some extent. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

spydum• 14 years ago

The guy with the horse head or mask on is my favorite.

smikhanov• 14 years ago

And someone still asks if it's a good place to work (currently on homepage): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4459412

amurmann2• 14 years ago

Yay, a bunch of people took a photo of themselves! I am so glad it made it to the top on HN!

Here's the view in Mountain View (main campus): http://goo.gl/maps/YphAI

peterwwillis3• 14 years ago

Invisible rope tug-of-war on the right!

peterwwillis3• 14 years ago

Am I the only person who thought this becomes creepy when you zoom in?

kjf• 14 years ago

This street is Barrow Street in the docklands area of Dublin. They've only just recently purchased the building opposite this HQ which goes by by the name of The Montevetro Bulding. Goole are set to rename it...wait for it...Google Docks.

raverbashing3• 14 years ago

Well, if they could buy the street they would probably rename it Google Drive
