The first word on the second column is Atena.

Quick thought: could the reference be to the New York Public Library main branch which is in front of Bryant Park?

On a side note (and from what I've read this hasn't been said before BUT I might be trouting without realizing !), "Ouroboros" would fit with the general theme - apparently this ancient greek word means "that which bites its tail", and is often represented as...

Maybe something to do with Hospitals?

I like the idea of the New York Public Library in Bryant Park but I'd like to add another hypothesis: Delphi Restaurant in NY (bear in mind I don't know NY at all!)

Just another thought.

Maybe the star is marking a special location in the map beneath it... Confused

Based on the page after the video, it looks like they'll be at least four more videos at some point. When you mouse over this video you get "I" which might either be the word or probably is just the roman numeral.

I'm guessing Roman Numeral, seeing as this is the first vid we've seen so far.

Nice, I like that connection... except that it can also be seen as a simple asterisk. There are 5 and 6 point versions, but there are versions that are the vertical bar and X style.
It might be an asterisk, but that seems just too simple, randomly placed and pointless. I prefer the Star of Life spec, at least has potential meaning in context Smile

The picture of Eli holding that presentation in front of an animation can be found in the picture collage (after the video played) as well.

Could it be some kind of timeline?

And regarding the star: You can always see it in combination with "REC" or "RECE" (receive?). See here, here, here and here.

Trustiva, I believe that those letters are coming together to form the word "receive" as in "when you are ready to receive data look to Delphi" as seen in other parts of the video.

I am very intrigued by the globe behind him as you are though. For instance, in this bit here we can see North (and South) America in white super imposed over... what looks to me like India and China? Maybe? Only on a... backwards globe... I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Now why would they do that I wonder?


Edit: Duh, it's transparent... I'ma go take a nap now.

hm.. and the background on each of those is same overlay of the last one.

So the question is - where is this location?

It's notactually superimposed - it's a rotating transparnt globe; the darker land is just the far side of the globe as it rotates Wink
