Similarity In Imagery

As I was searching for some imagery for a series of new drawings I plan to start, I came across a post from Andy Baio of Waxy.org fame. He wrote a wonderful post about the movie "Code Rush" (the conversion of Netscape to Mozilla among other things) and kindly embedded the movie as well. While watching the latter part of the doc, I took a screen capture of a map overlay that I thought was a great geometric shape. Later while searching the interwebs for more geometric shapes formed by data analysis I remembered the Zune logo. There's a wonderful similarity between the two and ironic that the movie focused on the competition between microsoft and then netscape.
