Steve Jobs' house

Steve Jobs chose to give users of the iPhone, Apple's forthcoming wonder phone, one-button access to Google Maps. But that was, one supposes, before the Mountain View search engine added street-level spy photographs to its increasingly creepy map service. Pictured here, from Google Maps: what we suspect is the Apple founder's Palo Alto residence, on Waverley Street, via the Drudge Report. (Atherton, home of privacy-conscious Eric Schmidt, Google's chief exec and an Apple board member, has not been fully photographed, unfortunately.) Hey, Steve!

I'm enjoy this site, but this new idea of posting rich & famous people's homes and cars is a moronic, and frankly dangerous thing to do.

This information does not add to your site, and dramatically adds to the risk of famous, rich people.

I understand the nature of this site, but honestly, this is just inappropriate. If you are curious about the massive ramifications of posting without thinking, give the guys at Engadget a call.

Either way, please stop posting people's homes and car information. It's a dangerous world.

It wouldn't matter if they ran the mapping van all over Atherton, as almost every house there has high walls around it.

He knocked the house down next door so he could plant an apricot orchard. And bury folks.

@B. Whaler: Thank you for the concerns you expressed to Google; however, as Google does not read this site, I have forwarded your message to them.

@B. Whaler: Right on dude. First you start posting pictures of Steve's house, next someone will start writing a blog from Steve's point of view -- ridiculing him and everyone else mercilessly -- and then some obsessive maniac in New York will start covering this "Fake" Steve Jobs more than the real one. Madness.

Be serious! The average, non wealthy woman can't tell one ritzy car from another at a distant, they are not into cars like guys and specifically they don't see ritzy cars that often.

Larry Ellison driving at 50 MPH is not easily distinguishable!

I am on the freeway, it is 10 minutes after 8 and believe me, I am not looking for Larry Ellison. I have more important things to worry me. The person in front of me is not even going the speed limit and I am going to be really late!

With all the wealth in the valley, a silver, expensive car could be any number of people!

No worries, folks. I've been to Steve Jobs' current house, and this ain't it.
