There does appear to be some sort of 'shape' there,

what it is though, no one knows yet

yeah, it's obvious that there is a shape made up of the light and dark areas

It looked like they were sort of coming together as the image shrunk. Someone try shrinking it more?

As you move further away, it almost looks like a monitor.

If you flip it upside down and mess with the Curves option in Photoshop, it begins to look like the upper half of a Grunt's face, lol.

Wow. Somehow I don't think they were expecting us to look at it upside down and curved. Someone shrinkydink it down some more? See if they can get anything?

Also, if you erase it completely and draw a picture of an Elite, you end up with a picture of an Elite ;)

Even more interestingly, if you just close your eyes and don't look at the image, it looks like blackness!

About the space in the top left, here's the code (the board may actually try to render it, so sorry in advance):
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <script src="js/webtrends.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As was stated above, the "<script src="js/webtrends.js" type="text/javascript"></script>" code is for a statistics monitor, but it's the "nbsp"s (non-breaking spaces) that are making the box. Seems kinda unlikely to be a simple mistake.
