Seems like the whole point of hidden cameras is to hide them somewhere inconspicuous. Some one seeing this can will be likely to try and open it or recycle it. Put it in a clock. No one messes with clocks. #cokespycam
@Hiro-of-Shadows: Good catch. Also the new logo bugs me because the typeface changes letter to letter. the "r" is very round whereas the "z" has much sharper edges. I should get back on those meds. #cokespycam
Brick House Security? Don't they make that tracker thing that helps Moms find their lost kids after dumping their bag out to find the tracker, then putting everything back in, and packing up the stroller before going to look for him?
@GitEmSteveDave_IsTheStig: This commercial has always bothered me. Why the shot of the white panel van driving away? As a child predator, I'm offended that Duracell assumes that I drive such a crappy vehic- … er, I think I got that backwards. Yeah, that's it…
@toejam07: And it had back windows. Everyone knows Pedo-Vans have no back windows for the child to kick out. This again why I suggest we cross breed fainting goats with children, so that in abduction situations, they will stiffen up and fall over. This saves all the regular children from the pedo's.
@GitEmSteveDave_IsTheStig: Um, maybe, just MAYBE, thats because you have 3 or 4 webcams broadcasting from your house 24/7. (Persoanlly, I could not sleep, or anything else for that matter, knowing tha I was being watched all the time. Thats a 1 way ticket to the padded cell for me.)
@Curves: If I for one second thought my life was interesting enough for someone to watch all the time, I might get self conscious. I actually hope anyone who watches the cams 24/7 gets the same help Mr. VW Bug from yesterday is probably getting right now.
@En0s0ne... even that damned dog gets a Gold Star: I am pretty sure about 85% of all the comments at Giz are posted while people are at work. Believe it or not, I actually use stuff I learn here at work, so its only MOSTLY wasted time.
@GitEmSteveDave_IsTheStig: The one time I went to your site, you were in your underwear on the couch with your laptop. Your privacy (from me, at least) is now 100% secure.
@Segador: I went there once and saw him in a hoody on his couch (it was cold weather). I even fired up an old AIM account and talked to him. He was actually quite nice and we had a great little chat.
@Segador: There's a reason EVERYTHING is under the name "GitEmSteveDave", from Gmail, AIM, here, Photobucket, etc. Even my GoogleVoice number ends in GESD. I enjoy the convos, honestly. I really like it when people IM me to tell me a cam is frozen or my bed is unmade. Oh, and it more than likely was a pair of shorts, as up until recently, I didn't have my AC unit running. I'm either in shorts and a t-shirt or loungepants and a t-shirt/hoody.
@Bigbadbikernerd: Most of my visits are one time only shots, which I don't mind. It's the people that refresh it 30 times a minute expecting it to update "live" even though it says it's every two minutes that bug me.
@GitEmSteveDave_IsTheStig: If I thought that my life was that interesting for people to watch, I'd record it, syndicate it and sell it to Fox or some other TV network as a new reality show.
Someone will use this ring to take covert pictures of men who have just slipped off their own wedding rings and dropped them in their pocket before walking in the pick up bar/meat market.
This will get "accidently" left in womens changing or locker rooms, and then retreived from the club "Lost and Found" 31 hours later by a very happy and excited guy who better have a good story about how it got there in the first place.
@Nick, @The Swiftman: OMG, wtf are you two saying? I LOVE Paula Poundstone! One of her taped comedy specials is one of the most perfect hours of comedy I've ever experienced. I have watched parts of that near-genius performance over and over and, even though I know the punchlines that are coming, I still laugh giddily.
@BlueLabCoatWanting_GitEmSteveDave: I'm surprised I get anything done at all. I'm commenting left and right, and all of a sudden I realize I've been inadvertently doing my work in between and I'm like "holy crap, I'm finished?" Thanks Gizmodo, you help to streamline my workday.
@Kaiser-Machead: You know you are spending too much time on Giz when your body starts developing an instinctive 20 minute timer to check for the next article.
@BlueLabCoatWanting_GitEmSteveDave: I would try those other Gawker sites but I'd be afraid my writing would get redundant/confused from not be able to tell the sites apart.
Or simply leave your tie dangling from a hanger to catch Marie and John having sex on your swivel chair, because you found mysterious residue around your work station the previous morning.
I was watching a special last night about "inattentional blindness". They asked people to watch a video of people passing a basketball back and forth. They were told to count the passes. Halfway through the video, a man in a gorilla suit slowly walked through the shot. Most people did not see the man.
I don't see why this same phenomenon wouldn't work when it comes to a name tag.
@RaptorsAhead_GitEmSteveDave: So you're saying if someone has a name tag, and a tiny man in a guerilla suit crawls out of their pocket and walks across it, most people won't notice?

They're using the old Coke Zero logo. In the newer one, each letter gets thinner than the last in the real one.

Yes it does. Though I do understand your confusion. Under normal circumstances, that comment would have been completely out of left field. #cokespycam
