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



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

fans?

[WMCoolmon]

Am I supposed to be excited?

[Deepblue]

Not really.

Could the image distortions mean anything?

[WMCoolmon]

Maybe it's binary.

[Carl]

for the record, i don't love bees.

AACI.org?

[Gloriano]

there is something hidden I just can't see what mighty to be

[Clave]

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?

[Turnsky]

reminds me of one of those old punch-cards used in ancient computers..

well, those white spots.

[Setekh]

Viral marketing... well, it'll reach the people it's meant to reach.

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!"

[Gloriano]

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

Ourcolony is part of Xbox360 marketing campaing

they are building lot hype before may 12 ( Xbox 360 gets its first unveiling on MTV

[Deepblue]

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

[Flipside]

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

[WMCoolmon]

So the new X-box is some sort of biomechanical construct?



Microsoft IS the Borg!

[Flipside]

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

[adwight]

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

[Deepblue]

*doesn't understand*

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.
