Google Street View's beefed-up privacy blurs cow's face

Google admitted their software had been udderly 'overzealous', but didn't begrudge cow for milking its newfound fame

We are used to faces and number plates being obscured by Google to protect privacy for images on Street View, but animals don't often suffer the same fate - except for this Cambridge cow.

The picture, which was taken last summer at Coe Fen, was spotted by the Guardian's US opinion editor David Shariatmadari.
