Two of the dot patterns are exactly the same. This has me thinking that that it is a 9 letter word. In the new video David video he says he would like to express "gratitude". Could the repeating pattern of dots be the letter "T"? and the other additional letters of "gratitude". Just throwing an idea out there before work.


Which of the dot patterns are the same? They all look different to me...

He means that some of the dot patterns overlap. Check the gif Rocket Rob posted, you can sort of tell. Or alternative you can use Photoshop or GIMP to overlap the patterns and see how they stack up.
Who knows, maybe it's time to try something like this again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius_square

I did see something funny while sifting through source code and scripts:

Looks like they are hiring illiterate developers...probably not that funny but I am a "grammar nazi" (apparently) so it gave me a laugh.

More unfinished text (as per the pics on the original projectprometheus.com site) visible on the David reveal page under curiosity: "Curiosity allows David 8 to conduct focused and intense investigation into solving problems that can alleviate...". "...human stress." is there when you copy/paste but doesn't appear on the page.

If you look at the matrix on the Investor Information box and the Facebook box they are the same.

Can you speed up the sequence so that it works like an LED Dot Matrix display? As it goes faster and the white dots may give us a clue.

I'm kinda surprised they haven't updated the timeline or investor info for David 8, but I guess they've kind of moved on to the new stuff.


THey actually have...if only to move the date of the last update of information over to the left.

I could try to speed it up some more by decreasing the time between frames.

The posted gif is 5/100 sec.

I did speed it up to 1/100 sec. But did not see much of a change.

If you download the gif, you might be able to use a program you have to tinker with it. If need be, I could always email you the 9 frames in a format that you need to do so.

I originally constructed the frames in Coreldraw and then imported the 9 frames into Corel Photopaint, to make the animated gif.

There are no in-between frames, so I can delete any extraneous frames to speed up the gif.

I might, or you could, take out all the black dots and let it play with just the white dots or do the opposite and let it play with just the black dots.

I was gonna throw in a few Weyland logo Frames just for the fun of it. Or maybe some subliminal "Jane Inspired Sandwiches".

I have mixed thoughts about us finding anything in these dot patterns.

I thought about chess moves, dominoes, dice, braille, half binary code, star map, and all sorts of other patterns.

My heads about to explode....aghhhhh, make it stop! MAKE IT STOOOOOP! Cursing

 		I've been thinking about the Rorschach images, and how they're different shades of grey in a very blocky way (ie not gradients like a regular inkblot would be). It could just be that they made them to be "more digital", but I had an idea... does anyone have a pair of the polarized grey 3D glasses that they could look at the images and see if anything pops out (literally)?

 		Weyland Email
Just got an email from Weyland Investors.

It gives you two things to download but in keeping with the dysfunctional viral so far, neither link works yet. Get a 404 error on each..

Still, its nice to get something. At least the registration worked. ( I signed up on day 1)..
