Microsoft Volta and its logo

• yeah, i noticed that too. but what is the volta? Nessie? a salamander? an eel?
  
  hopefully not an eel, because i trust eels even less than i trust foxes.
  

• All the logos from Microsoft Live Labs look alike. See http://labs.live.com/CategoryView.aspx?category=nav_Projects

  One's an Eel with electric tail the other a Fox with a fire tail. Where's the confusion? If anything the Eel is more accurate, I've never seen or heard of a Fox's tail bursting into flames to defend itself or kill its prey.

  There is something familiar about both logos. Try searching for "Ouroboros" (also spelled Ourorboros, Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus).
