Strange symbols on the left hand side of the Core i7 975 packaging. What do they mean? Weird...... Has Intel ever explained this?

It's a thank you note to the aliens who gave Intel the necessary tech to make a better product than what AMD has right now.

Ehh I don't know. Kind of looks like them. Wasn't it Spaced Invaders? I didn't really like that game.

Does it say Spaced Invaders Copyright Activision 1983 (or whoever published it whenever) somewhere on the box or in the instructions?

No the original space invaders came from Japan in the '70s. Any variants were definitely the drugs talking. ;)

Does the second icon from the bottom look like a mouse and mouse pad (or monitor)?

The next one up is from Stargate.

And then a CPU icon, with the cut off corner to know how to place it.

The second from the top has me wondering, looks like a water witching rod ... hmmm ... errr ... CPU binning rod?
CPU tech witching rod?
