I have a question. Why did they use a packet of a real orange drink? They have a lot of money and people working on this, so if they needed a fake packet I'm sure they could create one. So is this probably an ad campaign for that company? I don't see how it fits but seems weird that they would use another company's product unless the arg creators were hired by them.

OK, this will be a silly question, but I haven't seen it asked or answered yet. For those that received a package, did you unfold the crane? If so, anything inside; if not, why the hell not? Smile

Does it strike anyone else as odd that one of the available jobs is Executive Chef? How smart to you have to be to cook food for the executives? Significant or typo?

In any case it seems like the odd job out. That's the one I applied for btw. I appreciate a company that appreciates food prepared by someone with a high IQ.

On youtube this account is part of it, kinda funny. You see this same video from a different camera on Nate's page, then this guy who thinks Holomove "isn't ready" for InterOp. InterOp Guy

By the way, I had to check on the interOp site just to make sure this company wasn't really there. Heh, I guess that means they are doing a very good job.

I'm not sure if SoCalDevGal is in on this ARG, or they asked her to post about Nate's blog to get more attention drawn to it. But does seem weird that she somehow randomly "found" his blog a month ago. And then he posted a comment in the article she wrote about him, so who goes around searching for mentions of themselves? So I'm pretty sure it was all set up to make him seem real.

edit: I guess it makes more sense if they met in Las Vegas. All of this is very elaborate and planned out to make it look authentic. So whoever made all this, good work! Very impressive.

Actually, Executive Chef is the head Chef. At this point in the career, they establish the menu, the recipes and oversee everyone else doing all the grunt work in the kitchen.

Just to use the title "chef" someone should have graduated from a culinary institute.

Just a thought, but maybe this is a Microsoft Promo for something new?
