I didnt mean remnants, I mean overall, But I didnt want to circle all the development, But those houses there were part of the farm, as was the new commercial development, and the east corner of our school (I think). And all the new Houses across the street from the school too (which arnt in the picture, because the picture is from a while ago).

Well, when you see pictures of the pigfarm in the news, you'll see the big dug up lot, not the housing. That's why I pointed out that it's east of what you were pointing at.

The first one, the house I lived in when I was in the US (X one the roof, not the A).
Second one, where I live right now (rough estimate).
Third, where I live right now (exact adress).

:p You reckon the pictures are a bit out of date?

I have seen a map with the arial view of Melbourne at some tourist information centre. I spent about an hour just staring at it... quite fascinating :p

dunno why they call it new, Yahoo has had this for almost 5 years now.
and these pictures are i'd almost say a year old too. all the tree's have leaves on them. that means at least 2004 summer. but im thinkin they might even be older then that.

jeepnut was looking at his home town last night and said it was slightly outdated (1 and a half or so), judging by the buildings that have gone up recently

Actually, I might even put it closer to two years old. Circuit City wasn't even started yet in that photo and that store has been there at least a year and a half. Heck, they might even be older than 2 years. 3 might be pushing it though.

Of course, that's just for the pictures of my area, other areas may have been photographed more recently. When I was looking at it the other day, I found New York City. If anyone knows that WTC site really well, you could be able to date the pictures using that info.

EDIT: Added a picture of my place.

Yea, those pictures are quite old. In them, our Circuit City is still under construction, and I think it has been open for at least 2-3 years.

This new device has raised a lot of red flags in terms of privacy for some people. Check out the article in CNNTechnology.
