They just lost their suit.

I know weve already picked on them for a) their name and b) filing a public lawsuit to protect their privacy, but it appears the U.S. District Court for Western Pennsylvania agreed that the couples suit was ridiculous, stating the Borings "failed to state a claim under any count."

Lets set aside for one second the irony of the Borings going public to protect their privacy. As CNET highlights, theres a somewhat scary statement buried in Googles response to the lawsuit.

"Todays satellite-image technology means thatcomplete privacy does not exist," Google said in its response to the Borings complaint.

That may be true Google, but we expected Big Brother to be the US government, not a technology company yet to reach cyber-puberty.
