Google Must Take New Street View Photos Every Six Months In UK, Or EU Regulators Will Be Mighty Unhappy [Google] After villagers chased the Street View cars away in Buckinghamshire, England, it became pretty obvious last year that a lot of Brits were unhappy having their houses and streets documented online. Now, European regulators have told Google they must delete images obtained by the streetcars every six months. Google currently updates Street View annually with new photos, but the EU reckons they need to change their retention policy to just six months.

3. Google Wants to Add Store Interiors to Maps [Google] It probably won't result is as many hilarious candids as Street View, but the rumored "Google Store View" sure sounds handy. Presumably, it will eventually let you check out the interior of any participating retailer through Google Maps. The report comes from Search Engine Land, which was contacted by a New York company called Oh Nuts. Apparently the almond-monger recently got a visit from camera-toting Google guys, who photographed their entire store, six feet at a time, in every direction. So essentially, you'd be able to see a storefront in Street View, click on it, and check out the interior...
