Apparently incorporeal dead people (Hana, in this case) get the weekend off. No updates today.

New sticky note yesterday. It has a login and password, but am I the only one having trouble finding where to enter it?

[browsies]

I thought it could be another login for the Primatech Paper Page http://www.primatechpaper.com/about.php but that didn't work.

The password bit seems to be busticated.

However, as noted over on ninth wonders, the new stuff can be accessed directly, by a little guesswork. You are correct, browsies, in noting the change at primatech. But it would seem either the password we were given isnt right -- or else it's not activated correctly. Either way, it turns out we can skip past the log-in.

See, in the past, the primatech paper site used certain naming patterns. So the guess was made that the same patterns should apply.

Thing one:
http://www.primatechpaper.com/T1001/

12 people listed. We know The Company was started by 12 people, so perhaps this is them. Maybe.

Thing two:
http://www.primatechpaper.com/T1001/A012/

The Expense report is weird.

What is the un/pw you use to access A012 records?

Wanted to point out. The comic is not "This week's", as I too initially suspected. This week there are effectively TWO comics.

The usual weekly comic is over at
http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/
and is about the Shanti virus.

This week's animated comic is at
http://studiopass.nbc.com/t/76354/5435658/1103/0/
It is about Trav in Bhutan.

Trav's story is a multipart thing, so we'll see where this goes.

As an aside, I really like this week's hidden-in-the-comic photo:

Oh oh! And! In Trav's comic, there's a very clear specific picture of an OLPC!! Sweet!

EDIT - kona beat me to it by a fFew minutes.

I won't completely derail the conversation, as you can read about the OLPC program elsewhere. But essentially, the program makes one primary assumption: If we can bring technology (and therefore information) to developing nations, we can change the world. The OLPC computers are designed with three objectives: 1) make a laptop which can be purchased fFor under $100 2) to give to children 3) in developing parts of the world. Consequently, they are robust platforms which are designed to look like toys and run like hyenas. The program has some arguable problems, but overall it's a brilliant organization.

But I'm sorry, there is a more pressing matter at hand. New message fFrom hana:

I don't know if this has come up before, since the New York Chronicle has shown up in the show a couple of times. But there was a picture leaked for the Nov 26th episode.

I've tried to see if theres a page for it, but so far nothing.
