I found this website again today while going through some old links and deleting them. http://terraservice.net is a website created by Microsoft research that can show you a aerial photo of nearly any address on earth. For example: here is my house (mine is actually the 8th house from the left on the top row of houses).
What scares me about this is that Microsoft was able to get access to a database of images with a resolution of one meter. One meter! That is accurate enough that my neighbor would show up if she was laying in her backyard (admittedly as a 2 pixel dot, but still sort of scary)! And that is the unclassified data that anyone can get. I shutter to wonder at what sort of resolution the secret-level stuff is measured at.
