<p><b>1. Google gets intrusive</b><br>
As if Google isn't already imbedded in our everyday online lives, now
they are
in our front yards, too. One <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pittsburg</st1:place></st1:City>
couple thinks privacy should prevail and is suing Google for posting
their house
on <a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/">Street View</a>.</p>

<p><b>2. Flickr premieres your videos</b><br>
<a href="http://flickr.com/">Flickr</a>, born in 2004 to host only
pictures,
introduced video capabilities yesterday. Limited to 150MB, this service
is
available to Pro members. At this point, we free members will be able
to view
these clips but not upload our own, at least for the time being.</p>

<p><b>3. Let HP store your stuff</b><br>
<a href="https://www.upline.com/">HP upline</a> is now available.
Available
free for the first year and with temporarily only one gig available per
user,
later it will offer unlimited online storage for paid subscribers.
Besides
being used for backups, users can store data online, share files,
publish
files, and access PCs remotely.</p>
