well obviously it is the inside of a computer, but what do they even want us to get out of this. It would probably have something to do with the fans and the way that their are white spots in the middle of the pic.

yup, just seen it
any ideas people?

i see aaci.org in the background, which takes me here: http://aaci.org/index.html

asian americans for community involvement...

to me, i see a pair of cooling fans.. possibly on a graphics card (but there doesn't seem to be any workings behind them to cool, so probably just cooling fans) and a load of white blocks over the image, possibly interference of some kind. i guess there's some stuff to decode

its not. this was discovered on nearly every pic on the site. I think its some kind of "easter egg" Adobe puts on pics.

i read somewhere else that the 'ducky' text is inserted into every picture that's been through photoshop, or something like that

it's a weird link to find in a computr for sure, I think the key thing is the white spaces though, we need to do something with the image.

This might take a little longer to solve. I can't see any obvious leads. The message above aaci ends in "YOU", but I can't make aything else out.
