Looking more at these pics in photoshop noticed more.

top left hand corner of the antbubble original has "1010" in the graffitti top left.

Two to the right on the same page http://ourcolony.net/gamem8ker/index.html is another ant over graffitti, and you can see the numbers 0111 in a very similar font; in fact in this shot the 0111 looks really like it was added by photoshop afterwards.

Do these convert to binary or anything?

There's more in the other pics as well!

0111 (paper flyers on cork board)
0110
1010 (under the newspaper logo)
0110
1110
0110
0000
0100
0010
1110
0001
1110
1010
0110
0111
0110

running through them in order

Well, "0111011010100110111001100000010000101110000111101010011001110110" converts to ASCII as "v��.�v" -- I don't know if that's nonsense or not.

is this the same thing?

If it's not, maybe the 8 bit ASCII is a way to decode.

Damn! Think you're right it's the same thing "Next Gen".

So did anyone ever get anywhere with identifying all the bubble pictures, where they come from and what we can do with them?

about the bubble... I posted the following in the long 26 (as of now) page thread:

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but I think that theres a PERSON warped into each of the ORB pictures... or at least the same thing into each of them... look at the top right portion of the orb on the outside for any of the images and it looks like a face (to me anyways)... Just keep hitting refresh to see the different images and the outer ring is identical on all of them and on some like the pyramid and the staircase in the upper right area the colouring just isn't right for it to have been warped un-altered... Anyone else think the same thing or am I just dillusional? (like my whole binary quest....)

^^^Ithink that has to do with this thread... and actually the fact that you found the original picture for that one proves that what I said above is correct... it looks like another photo was warped in there....

We already figured out what most of the pics are. I found the man and woman kissing pic on GettyImages. The spiral is from italy, the vatican or something. I think the only one we don't know about is the train station. It's in another thread with alot of posts, look for it.

I know what you mean, I was looking at a few of the bubble pics in photoshop and the surround on all of them is the same, can't tell if it's warped or if it's just some texture style graphics to enhance the "bubble" effect.

you guys are dumb.. there are 4 digits of binary code on each picture..

after you find all the digits.. get a binary code translator..

reverse the code

and decode it..

= next gen
