Fujitsu care deeply about the layout of their code.









Reminiscent of anything?



If we travel, via Google Earth, to the top of Fujinon’s corporate headquarters in Saitama, and then look towards Mount Fuji, we get this view:







It seems that the view is right there in the code:







Thanks to Lorenzo for pointing this out to My Lordship

I notice that the source code from the fujitsu binoculars site made it into the newsletter, but it is no accident that the code looks that way, in fact, this is the Japanese principle of form over function. Flip that source code on its side and you get this:Reminiscent of anything?If we travel, via Google Earth, to the top of Fujinon’s corporate headquarters in Saitama, and then look towards Mount Fuji, we get this view:It seems that the view is right there in the code:Thanks to Lorenzo for pointing this out to My Lordship ( , Thu 20 Aug 2009, 17:20, Reply

I need to mention strongly that it was not I, but Lorenzo who spotted this,

but after it was mentioned in the newsletter, I felt it was worthy of mention.

If you go to the Fujitsu website (the actual link),

right-click the page and choose "view page source" (or similar),

scroll down and you will see the code that makes the page.



zoom way out and turn it sideways and you get the first image from the post above, whereas the code for any other site (b3ta included) is just straight lines.

There are other examples with Fuji.

Fuji also has a financial interest in Subaru automobiles. Their logo is a cluster of stars We have thought they were pointing to the North Star, but I have never verified that. Anyone know what stars the Subaru logo matches?? Another Fuji Logo with hidden meaning.

Let google be your friend

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru

"The company is named after the star cluster Pleiades, which in Greek mythology is known as the Seven Sisters, and in Japanese mythology the name is "Subaru", which roughly translated into English means, "to govern", "unite," or "gather together". The company logo is influenced by the star cluster. The large star in the logo represents Fuji Heavy Industries, and the five smaller stars represent the current five companies that are united under the FHI group."
