Most people have heard of Google’s map street view and its unique service which lets users look down almost any road in the world. Despite the controversy of Google invading people’s privacy they are now they are moving indoors. But this time they insist that they will be operating on an invite only basis. The company said it was beginning the process by inviting the most searched types of businesses to request a visit by its photographers. These included restaurants, hotels, shops, gyms and vehicle repair workshops. The photoshoots will produce 360-degree images wide-angle lenses. Business owners are also invited to upload their own pictures. The news comes at a time when they also announced that from the 1 January 2012, Google will charge for the Google Maps API service.　(by Prof. Simon Smith)

Bob Wieland lost both of his legs during the Vietnam War in 1969. In the 42 years after losing his limbs he has completed six marathons as well as the Ironman World championship course in Hawaii, which he did in less than five days. He became famous after taking part in the New York marathon which took him 98 hours to complete walking on his hands. Later this month, at the young age of 65, he plans to ride solo across the United States on a hand cycle. He now wants to spend the rest of his life raising money for his own foundation. According to Wieland “I lost my legs but I didn`t lose my heart”. The news is full of amazing people whose lives are unnoticed by so many. Have a look and see who you can find. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
