Google Maps obscures White House satellite images
Probably documented in other contexts elsewhere, but...
Google's satellite mapping feauture launched yesterday. The images of the White House and the US Capitol are digitally obscured. (Unless the White House just has a very smooth, clean roof...)
To reproduce, just map the address of the WH.
I imagine this is standard practice among commercial satellite companies these days, but I just thought someone should note it. [tx B.]

Fark.com had a photoshop of what the whitehouse was hiding several months ago :D. The usgs (united states geological survey) hides the top of the whitehouse as well in their (free) ariel photos.
