Is there any possibility that the password is whatever country or continent is highlighted by the hotspot?

[Remii]

Well if it helps, the yellow box seems to be hightlighting just off the southern coast of South Africa. Actually, it could be as far south as Antartica.

Kerguelen Plateau?? Looks to be about right, and no other map source had anything at all for that location

Okay, I've tried to compile a list of birth and death, and when the death note would have been written IF it was true. Also, the actual causes of death. Hopefully it's error free, but there's a lot of variables to it.

Buddy Holly (Sept 7, 1936 - Feb. 3, 1959) Died in plane crash, age 22.
Death note written Jan. 18, 1959.

Lee H. Oswald (Oct. 18, 1939 - Nov. 24, 1963). shot, age 24.
Death note written Nov. 21, 1963.

John F. Kennedy (May 29, 1917-Nov. 22, 1963) shot, age 24.
Death note written Nov. 21, 1963.

Elvis Presley (Jan.8, 1935 - August 16, 1977) arrythmia from drugs, age 42.
Death note written August 16, 1977

John Candy (Oct. 31, 1950 - March 4, 1994) heart attack, age 43.
Death note written March 1st, 1994.

Kurt Cobain (Feb. 20, 1967 - April 5, 1994) suicide by shotgun, age 27.
Death note written Feb. 31, 1994.

Christopher Reeve (Sept. 25, 1952 - Oct. 10, 2004) heart failure, age 52.
Death note written Oct. 10, 2004.

Anna Nicole Smith (Nov.28, 1967 - Feb.8, 2007) drug intoxication, age 39.
Death note written Feb.3, 2007.

These are the people still alive. They include a time in which they would die if the death note were written today. I've included this since the note says to go to the web site by April 1st 11:59 , and it might have significance.

Tom Cruise (July 3, 1962- ) age 44.
Possible death: April 2, 2007.

Nicolas Cage (January 7, 1964 - ) age 43.
Possible death: April 17, 2007.

Oprah Winfrey (Jan. 29, 1954 - ) age 53.
Possible death: April 5, 2007.

Bill Clinton (August 19, 1946 - ) age 60.
April 2, 2007.

Fidel Castro (Aug. 13, 1926 -) age 80.
April 9, 2007.

Either this will help somebody or I just wasted a lot of time

[Caterpillar]

I wasted the same time

...with a couple of different results. The Death Note entries that differ from yours are below, but first....

I don't think that it really matters what people think some of these folks actually died from, what matters is that "the Death Note author knows otherwise in his world."

For instance:
Although it is generally believed that Buddy Holly died in a plane crash there is still speculation to the contrary.

[Threevenge]

Ah....great info there! Changes a lot of my ideas.

[Rogi Ocnorb]

I tried to see if there was a common factor for the character counts in all the comments on the main page. (There isn't. One of them is even a prime.) Posting to further research on the comments or keep someone else from doing all the counts.

The phrase "Them Earth Meteors" seems kind of odd to me.

Has anyone tried to anagram this out?

[Randy]

[Caterpillar]

I thought perhaps taking the first letters of those misspelled names might yield something, and got "NOT FEW". So I tried "MANY" and also tried it in reverse due to the flippy Earth image. Nope.

I thought maybe the digits used in the sentence of those misspelled names might spell out something....nope.

I thought possibly we need to use both the misspelled letter and the letter that would normally occupy its spot. I got "RAYE HAS NEO" which was kind of interesting given the Matrix quotes decoded from the graphic binary, and the fact that RAYE was a character in the DEATH NOTE series (an agent of some sort I think?).

I dunno, maybe it'll spark someone else....

[Nola]

Off topic, the secret service takes all magnicide comments seriously, so we might have a few "extra" eyes lurking on this one!

[Esteed]

Raye Penber was a character in the Death Note series. He was an American FBI agent assigned to investigate the Kira case. Light Yagami (who was/is the killer Kira) played good ol' Raye like a flute, and when he was done with him he tricked Raye into writing down the names of all the other FBI agents on the Kira case on the Death Note. Then he wrote Raye's name in there and the guy had a heart attack on the train. The last thing he saw was Light Yagami standing just outside the doors smirking at him, just for that added kick in the pants.

This game died pretty fast, eh?

[plugs]

Well, it told us to be at the site by 1st April. We didn't get in...it seems no one did. Nothing changed, so...we failed?

[cissmiace]

wow, talk about an anti climax
