 		You can click and highlight the chemicals, and you can change out the DAVID Model Info.

The Investor Information section of the Weyland site has opened.


The color coordination for the "current resource reserves" graph is wrong. They've got the fuels colored as minerals and vice versa. Purposeful or sloppy?

 		Check your email inbox if you haven't, unless Yoko99 was tipped off before by that. There's a Weyland Investors message awaiting.

 		Yeah it just looks like a fancy invitation and a link to the investor page, nothing mind-blowing.

For the employees section, what units are the 52, 47, and 1 in?


52% male + 47% female + 1% android = 100% of employees. But there is no unit as in millions or whatever given. Just below that graphic it gives numbers for androids deployed - but there could be more androids employed than deployed. According to the android deployment info there are a total of 8.33 million androids in deployment. IF the number deployed is also the number of androids employed - then 1% of employees = 8.33 million. 52% male would = 433.16 million and 47% female would = 391.51 million.

Probably not important info in the long run - but you never know...

EDIT: At the bottom of the page where it has the fact sheet it says total employees = 837.43 MILLION. The numbers above add up to 833 million. So there are a few more million working here or there in the universe.

there is far more distortion in the upper right hand corner now - when i first opened the page i thought there was an image there but i had caught it just as it "shuddered" - Creepy!

Something my boyfriend had suggested prior when looking at the timeline page was that the globes moving across the screen might be a form of a clock - however you'd need to have a static point to measure it by. I'm absolutely terrible with math so i never bothered doing anything with it - but now we can see the one globular thingy truckin faster -

I know someone posted the background video for the page originally, is there a way to layer that with this new video? (to see if the shudder shadow thing actually creates a picture?)

 		A big hats off to all that worked their asses off solving this. I have been lurking and working from the sidelines since the start -- but with nothing to contribute didn't post.

Just want to say, this is why I hang back anymore on movie virals that claim to be ARGs. It seems like there is a huge chasm between what movie virals think is ARG and what it seems, old school or grass roots groups call ARGs.

But !!!!! I may be wrong!!! I hope I am!!! My last biggie was Super8 and, it was cool, we got swag, but ...

Anyway --- hats off to all you who have been working so hard on this. I have watched it all. I hope to contribute something before it's over. And I do hope it's just starting!

one of the wiki pages i poured over last night http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus#Comparative_myths mentions this:

Quote:
In Norse mythology, the god Loki was bound to a rock. Above him is a large serpent which drips toxic venom upon him. His wife collects the poison in a bowl, but must empty it every time it gets full. As she is in the process of doing this, the snake proceeds to cover Loki in poison. Just as Prometheus gets his liver eaten only to have it grow back again, Loki is temporarily saved from venom only to have it drip on him once more.

 		I was looking at the elements not listed on the standard periodic table.

147
Ax
Adamantine

Quote:
In the Greek Tragedy, Prometheus Bound translated by G. M. Cookson, Hephaestus is to bind Prometheus "to the jagged rocks in adamantine bonds infrangible."

Thanks for that. So that poison is Eitr from Jörmungandr, which Weyland Industries is somehow collecting. Maybe just a plot point?
