Windows 7s Hidden "7" logo in start menu ?, did you see it ?


Recommended Posts

I agree as well.

But, for the sake of argument, let's say the 7 logo is in the orb. The bottom line is...SO WHAT? Who cares?

This thread is quite meaningless and should be locked, in my opinion.

Obviously the author of this thread is interested and also some other people in this thread are. Does that answer your question of "Who cares?". Just because you don't care about something, it doesn't mean other people don't...

Well, Lt-DavidW, that really does fit perfectly. Hmm :/ Now I don't know what to think :p Whether they meant this to be the case or not...

I'm going to go with coincidence, since the logo has been similar for the last 2 OS versions (XP and Vista), so you'd find a 7 in both places. That even looks like the Vista flag in the image to me.

Is it possible they based the 7 off the logo? Sure. But not the other way around.

I agree, if anything, the 7 was definitely based off the flag logo, rather than the other way round because the flag logo is the same shape as the Vista one.

As for the image, I can't tell whether it is from Windows Vista or Windows 7. Has the flag changed much from Windows Vista?

I've decided now, actually, I also think it was a coincidence :yes:

What's with all the hate in this thread? The "7" he is talking about isn't just some angle that happens to look like a 7. It's that the particular curves on the top of the 7 and the angle of the right line happens to correspond to the top right corner of the flag. But of course, lots of people here are so full of themselves that they'd rather deride the OP instead of trying to understand him. And for SEVEN+ pages? For shame...

Don't bother with them. They are making bigger fools out of themselves by actually taking the time to find the number 7 in all sorts of odd places where it was clearly not meant to be, while in the case of the OP, it actually makes sense and fits along the contours perfectly. A neat find, really. And yet these morons are digging this thread up for more of these "I FOUND 7 OMG" pics.

A mod had to sift through several pages earlier just to clean up all the derogatory comments (spam). Seems it's starting to pile up again...

I completely agree with this.

yea Post-It Note, I dont get why these guys dont understand this thread. I just saw somwthing that i thought was a real or coincidence thing. So anyone can see it and confirm it or not. It might be disgusting to some folks that this thread seems to be getting bigger and bigger. well at least 10000+ views and if a majority of the viewers see this as an annoying/spam thread they can report this thread. but still i think it didn't happen. Pls. be a bit realistic guys. why post pictures of other logos and trying to find 7s in them ? this seven matches with the 7 perfectly. agreed with "The_Decryptor" this 7 is an image that murged out of the existing logo that was with us for many years......

UncleSpellbinder asked Who Cares ? well many did. and you also.even to post something ;)

Get the point guys, Im not telling that this is a Theory that lasts for ever or something. I just saw this. and wanted to share with others. just like you share other stuff that you find interesting to you.... dont tell me that you dont share... thats too bad of you.

LOL, This has turned into a spam thread..

Regards,

Atari.2600

P.s I dont agree with the 7 being inside the logo also.

It doesnt fit "inside" the logo. true. but it fits the outside top right coner very well. look at the image dude.

and you just spammed that too didnt you.

I do agree that the '7' logo is almost definitely based off of the Windows flag corner.

But I kinda thought we knew that when we first saw it, so I found my own 7.

In the form of 7 pages ><

Original, I know :p

There's no need for sarcasm in this thread, really. It's quite sad to see members making a mockery of the OP with "I found a 7 here!!!" comments. Anyway, that's an interesting find. I haven't looked at it that way until now. Even if it's coincidental, it's still interesting. Great find!

But of course, lots of people here are so full of themselves that they'd rather deride the OP instead of trying to understand him.

Unfortunately, that is the current state of this site. When I first joined, it was a good place for discussions and information, but over the years, it has been taken over by people with the mentality of a 10 year old (no matter what their age).

We're still talking about this?? Come on.... It's more of an "optical illusion" than anything... your brain looks for recognizable patterns in everything it receives from the senses.... It also can "connect the dots" in such a way as to make something appear out of nothing...... This "hidden" logo is not a logo at all.. it is merely your brain's attempt to find a pattern in your visual information.... It's basically Gestalt psychology.... Your brain may think it's seeing something like a 7, but that doesn't mean it was intended to be there.... Personally, I'd put money on it being coincidence, rather than design :p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
