According to a Mumbai crime branch official, the ten terrorists had not come to Mumbai before this to conduct any 'recce' and they had learnt about the locations with the help of Google Earth. - www.hindustantimes.com

One of the hazards of technology being seen here. The issue of overdoing technology still remains to be debated. If not addressed and contained now, this is going to lead us to a more scary picture in the coming days.

but isn't usage of opium as drug controlled by law. similarly, a law should be established and some measures established to check who is using what, and what is being used for which purpose. sort of a tracking system. the Google giant can come forward with a solution. if overeating of sweets can lead to diabetes, we also come up with medicines to check diabetes. IT firms can contribute their bit against terrorism by giving effective solutions.

even there are laws to control the misuse of internet content, but i dont think the criminals bother about law they enjoy breaking the law.The wrong use of drugs kills more people across the world than terror killing, inspite of existing laws.
