Title: Anyone see anything here?
Post by: Deepblue on April 18, 2005, 12:12:20 am

Can you recognize anything from this picture? Maybe technical specs, etc.?

(http://www.ourcolony.net/images/gamem8ker/112798.jpg)

It's a recent image from Ourcolony.net, apparently a viral marketing scheme for Xbox 2 (like ilovebees).

I see fans, electrolytic capacitors, surface mount resistors, some chips, a PCB (probably multi-layer) a crystal and a few unidentified things, so what is your point? :confused:

Oh God, don't tell me this is MS PR striking again.

"quick, let's get a boring picture and add some funky **** to it!  That'll sell it!"

Yeah, don't care much about "finding" anything, it's kinda fun to try and solve it though.

Actually, that white stuff looks oddly like a genome/DNA map...

:lol: I'm still certain that these images serve no purpose other than to make people stare at them for 10 minutes and think about the new product, trying to find a relation... it's like the exact opposite of subliminal marketting ;)

Someone try printing it off and shifting the image, like looking at it from below, or above, and maybe the white boxes show something.

Like those paintings, where if you look at them from straight ahead, it looks distorted, but if you look at the painting from below, you see the picture clearly.

Hmm, .jpg. Guess it's not one of those "Stare at it for a minute and it'll scare your socks off" animated GIFs. :p

The flat surface would indicate its in some type of Box.
Other than that, meh. Better things to do.

Maybe it's really a clever metaphor for the quiet desperation of modern life?
