What do you think this is?

I noticed this at the bottom left-ish area of some frames in a Google IO 2008 video:

•○••○••○•○••○○○○•○••○••○•○••○○○○•○••○••○•○••○○○○

Looks like some kind of binary information, but what do you think it means; what's the pattern?

Any ideas?

Dunno. My guess would be binary - it's actually a repeating pattern: 1011011010110000, which doesn't convert to anything meaningful in ASCII, and is 46768 in decimal.

Nice interpretation. Looks like trail of ants to me though ;)

It's not 1011011010110000, but 0100100101001111 (or 01001001 01001111).
01001001 = 73 = I
01001111 = 79 = O
Google IO :)
