- terracottapai, on 05/09/2008, -1/+77I think the bigger story is that Street View is in ***** Alaska.
- sockpuppets, on 05/09/2008, -2/+53My date must have taken it off in an effort to find her way home.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+32In order for plastic bag to claim conquest, it would have to happen in every picture. Now that would be a decisive victory.
- Buelldozer, on 05/09/2008, -1/+23I'd use 99 of them.
- BossKey, on 05/09/2008, -0/+19BAGGD
- Eganj, on 05/09/2008, -0/+18A truck drives around with a 360 degree panoramic camera mounted to the top.
- cypheroid, on 05/09/2008, -0/+17For anyone who wants to see the actual bag on Google's Street View: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=21 ...
- vMsam, on 05/09/2008, -3/+18one day if i ever see that google van taking pictures of a highway near where i live, im gonna run next to it and do funny faces for a mile or two.
- tmyprod, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11It actually makes Fairbanks more attractive.
- ThinkBox, on 05/09/2008, -1/+11OOO PWNED JUST GOT CONQURZED!!!!!
- petebert, on 05/09/2008, -4/+14i like turtles
- ferretpants, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9You do that
- oduska, on 05/09/2008, -1/+10I thought it was just to protect the camera from the rain...
- Coolmatt49, on 05/09/2008, -1/+10Plastic Bag: 1
Google Street View: 64,783 - arbiterofcool, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8oh crap, meant to link here http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&layer=c& ...
- mark076h, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8let me know what street you live on so i can be the first to submit it to digg
- SlalomMan, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8I, for one, welcome our new bag overlords.
- studdenfadden, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7No, it blew on to the lens then blew off when the truck stopped at the next intersection.
- azbmr, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Did you try it with a bag?
- wonderworm, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6If that is the case then how did the bag end up blocking the view of the camera on the truck? Did the guy climb on the truck and put a bag over the camera without the truck driver knowing so that all the neighborhoods images show a bag instead of residence? What gives?
- houndeyex, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Driving with that on your face can't be safe!!!
- mark076h, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6popular mechanics had a great article about it here http://tinyurl.com/3cdorm
- Versh, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6If "Steam Punk" becomes popular the phrase will be "Vanquished."
If FPS games make the culture generally more militaristic the phrase will be "Neutralized."
If classic board games become more popular the phrase will be "Ker-plunked."
If economy collapses, the phrase will be "国有"
Etc.... - fishpen0, on 05/09/2008, -7/+13PWNT
- boombume, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Now all we need is for everyone to stop describing anything remotely interesting happening on the internet as "EPIC!"
- BigManOnCampus, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7Next it will be a personified red balloon.
- ovni, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Looks like there's water on the outside of the bag. Maybe the camera was covered during a rain shower and they forgot to take it off?
- yojiffyskippy, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5http://digg.com/odd_stuff/guy_falls_off_his_bike_o ...
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Anyone else find it odd that it is only there for that block and then it disappears, and is nowhere to be seen before or after?
- oduska, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&q=&layer ...
- Garlik, on 05/09/2008, -7/+12It's not like anything's gonna change. "Pwned" will stop being used, and then what? "U got conqurzed!" One word will stop being used while another one will become common on the Internet. It's not a step forward or backward; it's a step in the same direction
- MadOtaku, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6That would be epic.
- XenoSNK, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5This just in: things covering view prevent you from seeing!
- mark076h, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3did you read the article? it links right to it
- jitterbits, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3dugg for "国有"
- Daniel591992, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&clien ...
- sickswaystop, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3This gives me an idea... why doesn't someone start tracking the google street view vans and then we can continuously prank it.
- blankb, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5wtf is it always about google map now that gets famous in digg
- Slagar, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Lol, never expected to see anything concerning my town on the digg frontpage. Didn't think Google would even bother doing the streetview here.
- mark076h, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3because it is very interesting?
- Coolmatt49, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4Fairies fly around invisibly with video cameras capturing everywhere they go.
- Tolzmaniac, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Street view must be very ugly.
- mark076h, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3not really this is a picture of the camera http://googlified.com/files/immersive-car.jpg it would have easily blown away by itself, or i am sure they have a video feed to see if something like this happens
- GvnMcCld, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4Weird, I just drove down that street yesterday and it looked different...
- daizaru, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2it's assumed that there was a bag put on it at som time to protect it from rain and they forgot to take it off or something. There's actually 2 or 3 bag shots, 1 involving a burlap sack as well.
It's a bit of a mystery. - MooNinja, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I saw a google vehicle one day last year. It was a Focus with a odd looking circular device on the roof. I wasn't entirely certain what it was at the time, but managed to get my ghetto ride on the map, although it missed me somehow, even though I was right next to it staring like a loon.
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -0/+2"i vote for this to become the next..."
That's not how this works. - Ikulus, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Here's the exact route taken by the bag.
