Interesting - I'm checking on my work computer, and there's little to no pixelation like I saw on my laptop monitor.

I agree, It is probably just a part of the jpg compression creating swirls.

Also - I tried to capture the screen using the 'print screen' button and then pasting into word and Adobe. The pictures (including the static pictures) come up with a light grid structure laid on top. Probably the way they set it up, right? Not anything significant?

OMG! Does anyone else see something in the upper lefthand corner of the Aquapolis image attached? I think I might be going crazy too.

I don't see anything. Perhaps you should lay on the special couch and talk to the special person with the special notepad.

Nope, nothing. It's running on my second monitor. I think we all need to step awwwwway from the webcam...

I'm getting the odd letter too. In the first image (frame.jpg) I've zoomed in to the flash, then turned my monitor brightness right up, and noticed (as already mentioned) that the area highlighted shows the most variation. I've circled what I think is a letter "o".

On the second image (zoomed.jpg) I've zoomed in further, and highlighted where I see a "w". I've upped the brightness on these in Photoshop to make them easier to see. So - any use, or am I joining the ranks of the deranged....?

I really think we're all just seeing things due to lack of updates, hence my little joke pic a few posts back. Of course, i could be wrong.

Yes Laugh! Laugh! Show my craziness for all to see...

BTW I showed it to someone in my house who DOES need glasses and he saw it too... And no...he wasn't just humouring me.

I will let it lie now until I get some better pictures. But just imagine how frustrating it is that you see something and noone else does.. Kind of Matrixy really... brrrrrrrrrr Wink

Yeah, probably Very Happy

But in the absence of any updates, I'll probably have another lost weekend trying to find more in this. Anyone else got a feeling that this could turn into another "Oct 1 Paintover pic" thing Confused

I started this thing...but you take the words right out of my mouth... I have a sneaky feeling that you are right... I did take more screenshots and I did get more letters but nothing distinct. *grumble...*

Hey, new here. But don't worry, I'm up to date. About that picture with the supposed "W" in it. I also see a "Z" just southeast of the circled area in question. However I do agree that I'm probably just spending way to much on this investigation.

does this happen for anyone else...

on the webcam page, right click and press play from the menu.

the background turns black, and after 15 seconds the picture on the right turns into the old picture (viewing deck) and the time jumps ahead one hour.

may be something may not.

happened for me as well. Also noticed that if you right click -> Play a second time, it takes you to the home page.

Yep, me too. Question is, what does it mean (if anything at all)?
