probably just left over code from the reveal page but you never know.


Just looked at the source and it does look like leftovers I'm afraid Sad

680 CW

What does CW stand for?

Do you think it is significant that the BCE/CW is different?


Strange stuff...

convention wisdom ?
ClockWise ?

Yeah, I have the feeling you are right about this.

Assuming it is a typo, and dealing with it as such, that would still raise questions.

All bar 1 were from BC/BCE times and only 1 was from AD/CE times.

Whether or not it is a typo (which I am now assuming it is) it is still the odd one out. Coincidence?

 		It's definitely a Typo IMO. I can't view the original source at work, but 2fray2 had a screen-grab of it as "CE".

WTF is up with the representation of its location on the globe. Doesn't look like earth. Did I miss something?

I find it very odd that with so much thought and design poured into the website that we are finding so many sloppy "typos".

I have to agree, surely some kind of peer-review should be carried out before go-live (Sorry PMs if your still lurking).

However, there is still no response from the guy who initially posted all 7. Do we even know if they are genuine?

The PMs have been doing a good job of keeping us from what we haven't to see yet (apart from a couple of P45-worthy slip ups).

These additional artefact gifs could be fake/not official, explaining typos etc.

If they are real then I'll be damned if I can work out where they came from unless there is a site we haven't found yet (which I doubt) - though I am at work and so can't investigate as much as I would like to.

Once again, the wrong location is given for the artifacts. This is the only one i've seen so far though that's not in China or Vietnam...where is this?

EDIT: It looks like somewhere in Russia except that the distance between North America and Russia has been shrunk.

Now THIS is sloppy... Then again, I doubt you could really have much security control using Facebook apps and flash, on top of that.

 		Viral vs ARG?
So... does anyone think we're missing something in all these complex Weyland pages to get the ball rolling again, or just waiting for the next cog to move in a viral machine..?

The whole thing seems to be in a weird flux, to me. No?

Potentially. I thought it looks vaguely like it could be in Egypt. Even then that's pushing it. Unless, and I suppose this is more unlikely is that the CW and weird globe are related, but I seriously doubt that.

 		Damnit, the Electronics page is 404 now!

Did anyone grab a screen shot of it?

 		ELECTRONICS

MODULE 3.0
A BETTER WORLD OF INNOVATION

Weyland Industries employs over 800 million citizens. As such, our products and electronics are the most advanced, most efficient and most highly intelligent on the market.

Our bio-sensors can detect trace amounts of toxic contaminants, making workplaces safer. Our FTT devices and holographic controls make scientific research easier. And our micron-sized platinum-doped laser position sensors make everything from terraforming equipment to weapons-tech smaller, lighter and faster. Our innovations are working harder in every home and every industry sector to make your world better.

Developed by Weyland's world-class materials scientists and electrical engineers on Gliese 581, all innovations undergo rigorous testing at the New Products Testbed facilities at Henri Gaston. We use only the most advanced rare materials extracted from mines across the galaxy, and our nobel-prize winning physicists and materials engineers hold the leading number of patents in the fields of lasers, nanotechnology, and microfabrication. Many products using this technology will soon be making history as part of the highly-anticipated Prometheus mission.

MODULE 3.1

FEATURED PRODUCTS

SPECTAGRAPH

This next-generation device, used by Weyland geologists and engineers, surveys unknown planetary terrain in the pre-terraforming process. An omni-directional laser live-maps 3D topography and sends the detailed scanned images to the viewing platform. New hyper-conducting spherical shell allows smooth, self-propelled flight in any atmosphere. Polymer film bio-sensors can detect airborne toxins and life forms down to 500 nanometers.

VR HELMET

The VR helmet represents brand new technology designed to enhance the function of latest Weyland android, David 8. All new David 8 models will be VR-compatible. The helmet taps into David 8's expanded neural network and translates human thought, dreams or unconscious experience into images. The VR helmet senses the brain activity of a human subject, then enlists the high data processing rate of the David 8 to translate billions of synapse firings into visual data.

HOLOGRAPHIC ENVIRONMENT SIMULATOR

Invented in 2024. Perfected in 2073. The Holographic Environment Simulator (HES) can provide audio, visual and kinesthetic enhancement to any room, anywhere. The HES picks up live video feed from a remote receiver and fills any space with the sights and sounds of that environment in real-time. The HES can also recreate a full-surround environment of a specific location from any point in time for academic study or personal entertainment.

BROCA DIALETICAL IMPLANT

Requiring no actual language-learning by the user, the Broca Dialectical Implant is the first of its kind. Embedded Interpretation Software (EIS) translates incoming dialects of any origin into fluent comprehension for the Broca user. An exclusive innovation from Weyland Electronics.

Cheers, 2fray2. I was hoping for an actual screen cap, but this is great, too.

Two things stand out here:

This sounds like it will account for that odd footage that's stymied everyone where you see the holographic figure running away and vanishing. So that is someone's thoughts David is observing, conscious or dreamstate, hrmm..

Cinema-style Magic Bullet allowing the Prometheus crew (and us by extension), to understand Space Jockey speech, maybe?
