Really Tiny Pictures Bob Matcuk @ 12/28/98 16:27:17 EST
Ah microchips. Gotta love 'em. With their tiny circuits and pictures of Mickey Mouse. What? Wait a second here...

Michael Davidson, who runs a $500,000/year business to photograph things using microscopes has found Waldo, among many other tiny images among the insides of our friend, the microchip. It seems that companies have been putting little images and credits on their chips for decades! The images or credits are printed in the extra space on the chips so they don't bother the operation of the chip.

Michael Davidson has got a gallery of his little discoveries which can be found here.
