1:20PM Nick Broughall | And this is why I love you guys. Within hours of Google’s Streetview going live in Australia, I’m already receiving images of funny quirks within the system. Like this one from reader Douglas.
Obviously, as the Streetview driver was making their way down Denigan street in the ACT, they felt an undying need to pull the Holden Astra in and go to the toilet grab a bite to eat to the Erindale shopping centre. The fun thing is that the camera decided to count that as part of the road, including the drivers door open and trees all around. For the full effect, drive back on Denigan street a bit and then go forward – you’ll cop a face full of tree for your trouble.
Even better though is the fact that they pulled in again a bit further down the road. I wonder what they forgot?
So, give us your best caption for this Streetview anomaly, and keep sending in those entertaining Streetview blunders pics.

Woz Knows When the Price is Right
2:47AM Adam Frucci | Apparently, Woz is a Price is Right fan. Unfortunately, he was just sitting in the front row and was never called down to play Plinko or spin the big wheel, because I bet that he really knows the prices of household products and could use a new Lincoln Towncar or whatever it was they gave away that episode. Oh, Woz. Hit the jump for another screenshot of Woz enjoying himself some game show goodness, then let’s hear your best captions in the comments section. Thanks, Brett! More »

Caption Contest: Steve Ballmer’s Whiteboard From All Things Digital
2:30AM Matt Buchanan | During their interview last night at All Things D, Walt Mossberg called Steve Ballmer the “maestro of the whiteboard” and presented him with a fresh one to draw whatever he wanted (or maybe explain Yahoo, whatever). You’re looking at the finished product. What the hell is it? Our own Mark Wilson: “How babies are made.” Can you do better? More »
