Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Vulture Central is today in full counter-surveillance lock-down mode following the sighting of a Street View Orwellian black Opel in the very street where El Reg has its London headquarters:

El Reg worse than Google?

A quick lesson in 'Orwellian'

Not Orwellian: A camera taking a single series of pictures which are integrated into a free mapping service.

Orwellian: Tens of thousands of cameras, arrayed throughout the city, and remotely controlled by government employees whose goal it is to alter public behavior as a whole.

See how that works? Yeah.
