Apple.

All the way.

I read rumours on some weird Mac-ish website, that the next generation of Apple computers were to be the G5 Cube. Usually, Apple uppgrade their already existing products - G5 Cube becomes a logical extension of the G4 Cube.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but none the less enjoyable.

I'm kinda thinking that if it's an "unusual" sponsor, it ain't going to be fillum or computer oriented...

can't wait to buy my Jay inspired cube poof from Ikea's new Kiteway range

I don't necessarily think that Apple is the 'unusual partner' at this time, but it seems that there will be some sort of hook, and at the moment, Apple is as good as any. I am sure a million others will become possible over time, either reinforcing or completely destroying this theory. One to keep an eye on is the Hitchhiker movie, though that is due in April, so it is unlikely PPC will have concluded by then.

I guess we just have to wait and see.

Pure spec, but: given the recently revealed name of the Receda Cube, and the possibility that it may mean "building(s)," how about an architectural firm as an unusual sponsor?

They may be building some sort of cube-like or cube-inspired structure, and wanted a sufficiently esoteric and artsy introduction. Perhaps an Academy of sorts, like a new art college?

I think it's a marketing ploy for Scion's xB.

Barring that, perhaps they're selling interdimensional travle devices shaped like a cube. That would be pretty unusual.

Good spec, but in the wrong forum. Could a kind mod relocate this to the "What's the hook" thread?

actually, i put it where i put it becuase i had hoped to get a bunch of discussion on the nature of the keys, the possibility that they WERE a physichal object like a few had suggested, and that we might actually get our hands on them. i was hoping to then get a full thread rolling on just the keys.
