Thank you for listening to Kim Commando today.

Hey, let's kick things off with something super interesting.

A homeowner in Lake County, Illinois, isn't exactly thrilled about Google satellites

just snapping picks of their house.

So they had a plan.

They painted watch porn, not me, in giant white letters right on the roof.

Okay.

And they said, well, that's going to send a message

to any Google Maps explorers. Don't look at this house. Well, here's the deal. As you might expect,

the reason why I'm talking about it is that the plan backfire big time. Some Facebookers spots the

house on Google. They say, oh, it's so funny. They post a screenshot of it in a group for

satellite image junkies. And then just boom, that image goes viral. I looked at it a few

hundred thousand likes in just the last few days. Now, everyone's looking at this guy's house.

So here's the thing. If you really want privacy, Google lets you blur your home's image on the

satellite. To do it, just head

over to Google Maps, locate your house, and then click on report a problem, and then adjust

that red box to cover your house and choose my home. Again, under Google Maps, report a problem,

and then it's under my home. But speaking of satellites, I just really hate satellites. You know why?

They're just a complete waste of space. Oh,

yeah, that was a great one. On that happy note, I saw you smile. It's called the Kim Commando

show because I just happened to be America's beloved digital goddess. Kim Commando here with you
