Cheating husband caught on Google Street View?

A furious wife has called in divorce lawyers after spotting her husband’s car parked outside another woman’s house — on Google.

Lately on the internet, a lot has been going around with Google’s addition of The UK to Google Maps Street View. Also, if you’re a frequenter of any link aggregates like Reddit or Fark, you know that the British website The Sun seems like a glorified fake tabloid. They have a bunch of stories that are ridiculous and don’t have much of source. Anyways, I thought I’d capitalize on both of the mentioned facts.

I remember hearing about this being a problem with the traffic cameras sending a photograph to someone's house showing someone run a red light and having an unexpected passenger in the car.

When I worked for Radio Shack, one of the stores in our district got a complaint from a customer regarding his cell phone. It was one of the first models that had voice-activated dialing and a speakerphone. Apparently, the phone was in speaker mode and it called his wife while he was talking about her to his mistress. He didn't notice that it had dialed until it was too late.

I'm not sure what the customer expected us as a company to do about it. The phone worked exactly as intended. If you don't want voice activating dialing, don't enable it!

That seems odd. The phone activated another phone call in the middle of a call when the name was mentioned? It was supposed to do that? I wouldn't have expected that to happen. That could be really annoying under a lot of circumstances.

I imagine that he was with his mistress with the phone in his pocket. DH has voice dialing, I'll have to tell him that if he plans to cheat on me, he'll have to be careful what he says to his partner.

ETA: His phone asks for confirmation before actually dialing. He'll say "Call Becca" (me) and the phone will say back "Did you say 'Call Becca'?" and he has to say "Yes" before it dials. I take it some other models don't have that feature?

Oh, that makes a lot more sense, thanks.
