Well gotta have a hobby I guess.

So, I suppose the behavior must follow a particular algorithm, written in the hopelessly obscure assembly dialect for some embedded component? Of course, peeking behind the curtain would ruin the magic.

Just a Lissajous pattern. It hits the corner about every 90 minutes.

Java, no? Was that not the hotness in the 90’s, putting the jvm on DVD players to support interactive menus?

I thought jvm was strictly a Blu-Ray thing.

I’m so glad it wasn’t just me.

I always figured the program that’s making that image move around would crash if the logo ever hits the corner. Some sort of division by zero.
