Dept. of cyberethnologica, zephyrin, February 3, 2004 2:32:37 PM CET Some cyber fun  It may well be that right now I am planting some strange thoughts in the minds of certain people. So have a healthy look at ethical decision-making and internet research first. When I reported about the map of the internet I mentioned the IP Adress Locator, which correlates IP-numbers with geographical space. Today I discovered the ACME Mapper. Type the IP of an online-friend into the IP Locator, copy the locator's latitude- and longitude-output, paste it into the ACME Mapper, and presto you've got a satellite picture of your friend's neighbourhood (as long as the friend lives in the US, as only the US is included so far). To push it a li'l further, use an e-mail forging tool (no, I won't supply a link), pose as your favourite US-executive authority, and send your dear friend a mail which reads "Gotcha!" and has the satellite-pic attached. Then run.Of course you also could use the ACME Mapper to get some decent from-above-pictures of the Amerindian tribe's habitat you're giving an anthropological lecture on -- but who on earth would want to do that? Btw, guess what is shown on the pic above. No clue? It is ... the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The dark square at the left is the black-glass pyramid of the hotel-building itself. The white patch in the center is the life-size Sphinx-replica, and the little white patch (near the street on the right) is the obelisk-replica, which casts its shadow to the left. via Searching for the Moon ...
