I was reading my feeds, and I found this entry from Engadget, whom was surprising:

Next time, think twice before reading an ad... The big brother is always watching you! At least if you are 32 feets near his eye...

Remember if you want to view a billboard anonymously make sure to stand 33 feet away or use a proxy.

The weird thing about Ireland is that billboards are only ever beside roads and never on buildings in the city. Will the eyebox be able to recognise people in cars?
