The story here is that someone secretly affixed a GPS tracker on a Google Street View camera car and you can follow the car’s progress using Google Maps while it’s photographing the streets of Berlin.

How about this: maybe Hulu is right to block Boxee? Let’s see where this takes us.
Just a wanted to post a quick note here, congrats to @DStoneburner, the winner of the Tokyoflash wristwatch contest. So good for you, @DStoneburner. Don’t say we never gave you anything.
