They are cell phone symbols: signal strength indicator; E911 indicator; Bluetooth indicator; and battery indicator.#2: ant (agrest272) on Mar 10, 2010 [SPOILER]
haha i thought i recognized the signal strength halfway through.. 2 bars sounds about right too :D#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Mar 10, 2010 [SPOILER]
I thought the signal signal strength indicator looked like a wine glass. Once I got nearly done, I saw what everything was and got the theme. Thanks for informing me of the "E911 indicator." I have seen that symbol before, but had no idea what it was for. I still don't really understand. Care to explain?#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 10, 2010 [SPOILER]
Great puzzle.
E911 symbol on your cell phone means that your phone is embedded with a Global Positioning System chip, which can calculate your coordinates to within a few yards by receiving signals from satellites.#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Mar 10, 2010

Is this a new series? I've been off the computer for the last several days and so I don't know if you've already done more...guess I'll go look now. ;)
This is the "un-series" puzzle that is the opposite of the series of puzzles that came before. :-)
