I thought I'd take a quick look at Discovering Prometheus, since the week 2 countdown ended at midnight.
The Week 2 sphere is now blue and live, but empty without any content as of yet.
It is not really that it is "empty without any content." More that opening Week 2 crashes the application.

Looks can be deceiving. T'would not surprise me in the least if we have been led considerably away from the true plot curve by the trailers. I ran into an official synopsis somewhere last week that was completely different from the one pasted everywhere, which (paraphrased) said two companies on Earth are in a resources war and one company's arrival on a planet resulted in destruction by an indigenous species.
Also: I read an interview with Guy Pearce yesterday which I cannot find now to save my life, but he slipped and made an extended comment about the TED video not being the only promo video we'll be seeing in that format, saying that there will be similar ones featuring other characters, as in plural.
Things will be heating up here in the next 48 hours is my guess. Hone your razors, guys!

According to this statement, it's real.
I posted some time back on all this. In the Alien film, Ripley actually rattles off the right ascension/declination coordinates for the planetoid.

If one reads the Weyland Industries Timeline one will see the Discovery of Archeron LV-426 dated May 14, 2039 stating that it's outside of Zeta 2 Reticula.
Incidentally, Archeron LV-426 is the planet from Alien.
The names of each star stands for a letter that forms a word, based on the order each star is illuminated? Possibly? Do we know for a fact which constellation that is?

there are 48 frames in the GIF image but there doesn't seem to be any hidden info there...
Edit: on second look, the stars seem to form a tilted "K"
This is an actual star constellation which looks like a 'K' so I don't think it'll be a clue. But you're right about the stars lighting up in a specific order.

Hi ObFuSc8!
Yes, I realized there are pictograms in the trailers, but didn't know this one is a mash up. Thought they might have been making it a challenge to catch it when the refresh bar was out of the way, and the stars lit. And thought it might be out there as a pointer in the internet somewhere. Maybe still.
More spoiler speculation: First humans in Africa were manipulated to become future hosts for our alien friends-perhaps by space jockeys. Our travel to their planet means dinner is ready, and they are coming back to earth in on the big ship we see, loaded in those stacks and stacks of barrel objects. Trailer shows crew being infected- maybe Earth would be on massive scale if alien ship makes it. The trailer also seems to show that it doesn't.
Seems to me trailers are giving away an awful lot of the movie.

Back!
I was without internet for the past 10 days but I'm glad I haven't missed too much (though sorry that it has been slow for you guys). I have checked the wiki in case I had missed anything significant (didn't want to get trouted lol).
Being without internet was like losing a limb
However, I am back now and hope things get going again soon.
