   A Thermos-like coffee container perhaps. Just a detail in the pattern that makes me feel uncomfortable with this.

   Very interesting…. I’m glad I finally found a tough puzzle… The last one only took an hour to solve.

   OldC! How do you do! goo´2 c u ´round here…

   In my planet things like that are simply trash cans or paper bins. The pattern OldC mentions also uncomforts me, tho… As well as that fine vertical line I marked with a note. The gates of the unknown, maybe?

   btw… this is odd… look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/morrissey/1011421/

   Alieness: cool link. A larger scale image though…

   VieuxPepsi has marked an important anomaly in the matrix. It’s like the red pill for epiphanies.

   Is this some kind of display ? It triggers the idea of Memory after a few seconds, or Logical Gates.

   FlatCoke: Good morning en français.

   I think you got it. If I presume you mean a semiconductor memory…. or a LCD display… Go Cola!

   It is a wafer of electronics on plastic. Normally these are planar and flat, but this one is wrapped around a green wine bottle for decoration. The trick is finding a low-temperature deposition process for making decent transistors on plastic. If you can do this, you can make backplanes for LCD panels.

   You were right about the one odd cell. On a semiconductor wafer, there are typically some test reticles mixed with the regular array.

   The carpet on the right happened to be a similar green, and the lines of light are from vertical blinds.

   Oh I just edited my previous comment, thinking it was a display of a logical array and wandering if LCDs could make it in a cylindrical surface 😀

   Next will be and Old Cola polycarbonate bottle with a non flat display for my Palm 😉

   mmmmm…. I am not sure of what you say that thing is. I call for the (appropriate) intervention of him to sniff into this business.

    I would have said, a roll of carpet, inside out.
