it's due to lateral inhibition caused by horizontal cells on your on-center and off-center bipolar cells in your retina. also, delayed neurotransmitter re-uptake in your retinal ganglion cells is responsible for the "imprint" that remains once your eyes are closed.

I stared at the four dots for 30 seconds, tilted my head back and closed my eyes.

I saw "666: access denied."

Stared at it for 30 seconds, closed eyes and looked upward, opened them and I saw my boss standing over me asking "WTF are you doing?"

I didn't see it when I did the close your eyes thing. But it works nice if you stare at it for a while, then look at the plain white part of the screen and blink at an even pace, but not too fast. Lets you see it real easy. Pretty cool.
