Got the same thing.
I am just glad it says January. I am otherwise occupied right now.

The site has already changed. It used to say "hacking the planet" didn't it?

A little search leads to IBM
I dont know if that is just related to the story (since is computer related) or if its an ARG from that company.

Using IBM as the mailing address for the site owner is consistent...
It says 'Hack the Planet' again. And has Rom. 12:19 in red in the corner, which is: "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
Uh-oh.
I didn't get the email But we'd already found the Beta .
And, just because it's what I do...

I love how certain PM's play with our emotions and string us along for their amusement!
I'm not saying we don't let them or anything

Yay, I got it tooooo.
Also, I have no idea why, but the HACK THE PLANET thing is making me crack up, really, really hard.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Question of the day: what should this theme be? there's no light/dark as far as we can tell... and we NEED 47 more pages. trust me.
EDIT: In the "hacked" logo, what do you think the GC in the filename stands for? Also, Romans 12:19 - "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord."

From doing a little bit of research it seems that Hack the Planet was a virus of some sort. Also, I tried going to hacktheplanet.com and it redirects to a T-shirt site. Maybe it's something I don't know.
