quit frankly i find all this oh the cube is a senteant being stuff to be a little well for lack of a better term stupid
how could the cube get tickets off someone the say o yes certenly or what ever it is it said ct is the mastermind not the cube
ther is no solid proth the cube can think
the memos didnt say the cube it used pronouns like it
and plus you think the cube would have mabye i dont know said somthing wene it noticed that it would be stuck in a glass container and gorked at for the rest of oblivian
the cube is a metalic object not orgainic thus it cannot posibly be smart
silicons a plastic so it cant be chips neither its purer metal that lets of a pritty light that made the people of perplexcity gork and say wow its amazing
*deku pauses to take his breath
bottom line is we shouldnt jump to conclusions get the facts befor you say a lamp can think
boy i hope i didnt miss somthing like the cube talking in real life because then id look like an idiot

Yes, but if you read the Lancewood logs, you'll find:
Quote:
[16:44] Violet: Evidently the Adamek visit wasn't all that fun.
[16:45] Violet: She's written down a bit of dialogue here.
[16:46] Violet: "It has thought?"
[16:48] Violet: "Nothing that you would call thought, Master Adamek. It has intelligence, of a sort, but it can neither talk nor think."
[16:48] Violet: "What exactly is it for, then?"
[16:49] Violet: "It needs a weak intelligence to govern the trillions of material processors inside it, but you have no reason to worry. It has no capacity to disobey than any of your lackeys."
The cube does have intelligence of a sort.

[quote]THE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE
WHAT? I SAID.
I THOUGHT AGAIN OF THE INFINITE LIBRARY, OF THE WORDS ARRANGED ON OTHER WORDS.
OF THE WAY THAT WORDS PILE ON ONE ANOTHER, CREATING AND UNWINDING MEANING.
OF THE PRECISE PATH LEADING FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE, OPEN BY THE MEANINGS WE INFER.
"YOUR TICKETS, " THE VOICE SAID, "HAVE BEEN BOOKED."
"YOUR ROOM HAS BEEN RESERVED."
"THE CAR WILL PICK YOU UP."
"YOUR ITEMS HAVE BEEN ORDERED."
"HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY."
"YES, " I SAID, "OF COURSE, CERTAINLY."
NOTHING CAN DO THIS, NOTHING AT ALL.
NOTHING CAN DO EVERYTHING,
NOTHING CAN BE EVERYWHERE.
I THOUGHT: I HAVE BEEN TRAPPED.
I THOUGHT: I AM AN INSTRUMENT.
PLEASE WAIT WHERE YOU ARE.
THE CAR WILL ARRIVE FOR YOU SHORTLY.
"I STOOD ON THE CORNER, DIRTY-GREY SNOW SLOPPING AT MY FEET, OBSERVING THE TIDE MARKS OF SALT ON THE PAVING STONES.
I WAS COLD, I REALISED, VERY COLD.
I NEEDED A COAT.
COULD I PURCHASE ONE?
WITH WHAT?
A THOUGHT OCURRED .
I HAD BROUGHT ONE OR TWO ITEMS WITH ME – NOTHING USEFUL, NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE.
COULD I SELL SOMETHING?
FOR MONEY?
A CAR PULLED UP AT THE CORNER OF THE STREET.
HONKED ITS HORN ONCE.
THE BLACK WINDOW PEELED DOWN.
INSIDE, THE DRIVER SPOKE MY NAME.
THIS COULD NOT BE NORMAL.
EVEN HERE.
NOT USUAL.
I NODDED ABSENT.
THE BACK DOOR OF THE CAR OPENED.
I STEPPED INSIDE.
WAITING FOR ME ON THE SEAT WAS A COAT.

The first thing that struck me when I watched it through was all the 'piles of words" stuff:

Possibly a solution to a puzzle? Some kind of 3D arrangement.... I'm not sure.... just something to bear in mind I suppose.

That's what I thought too, with the unwinding involving some sort of letter spiral. It also struck me that:

looks like half a bird flying on the wing, have been trying to get the bit that appears backwards to make the other half in a nice logical way but I end up with something that looks about as AMAZING as roadkill.

No, I think that is refering to how the path that we/he is taking is filled w/ red herrings and it is hard to see which random letters will be the right path to complete the story, like Library of Babel, at least that is how i view it.

maybe the words piled on other words are for the letters on top of one another behind the text... or how the text lays itself on top of itself... hmmm
has anyone analyzed the background? (not receda's revenge, but the letters... trying to find a message in that?)

I started trying to do something about that, but have got nowhere yet. I am almost certain that the background is always the same (each play-through, I mean - not the same background all through the message) rather than being randomly generated, at least.

Okay, the overlayed text in the first background moves strangely... but I swear, I think I see a phrase that begins "Wink slowly..." on the first line when one of the two layers blinks out. can anyone seperate the two layers? One might be random text to obscure, but I suspect the other has another message we're missing.

Here are some screen captures I grabbed. One is from the non-looping portion of the message, and the other is from the looping portion at the end. Looks like the letters are the same each time during each part, but it's hard to be sure without getting some kind of software that allows you to pause flash objects. In any case, doesn't really look like there is anything there, at least to me.
