Via Mark: looks like Google Earth knows more about North Korea than Dear Leader might like...
On April 4 2007, Curtis Melvin—a PhD student at George Mason University—decided to start the "North Korea Uncovered" project. Two years later it became the definitive reference for the country's secrets, thanks to an army of amateur spies.
All via personal initiative. That's something to doff one's hat to.
Of course, however, the Gizmodo commenters are taking the opportunity to identify the real bad guys:
I so wanna punch an american in the face right now
. . .
Oh what a surprise, americans messing in some other countries private stuff. that´s new!!
. . .
I honestly don't understand why people have animosity towards this. I think it's great! If people are doing this to N. Korea, that means they're doing it to other countries, or will do it in the future, including ours.
Some people shouldn't have nice things. Fortunately I know of a lovely country where there aren't any.
