i think im missing something here.

hanso foundation is a real foundations right? since it advertises it self on ABC during the LOST ad break.

and from previous post there seems have some connections between hanso foundation & LOST am i on the right point?

its fairly obvious its fake...

i mean why else would other corporations actually pay for the spots..(ie: brought to you by Sprite, Jeep, Monster.com, etc.....)

I'm pretty sure it's a fictional organization. Those TV ads are just to encourage people to watch commercials.

exactly....

they're trying to entice people (specifically TIVO/DVR users) to watch the commercials....

edit: just thought of something...

we saw Kelvin take off his mask outside....we saw desmond see him...basically they showed us that nothing was wrong considering Kelvin told Desmond to shoot up with that stuff but Kelvin didn't have to because he was never exposed long enough or whatever....

well since Desmond knew nothing was wrong why did he continue to shoot up with that stuff....the first time we saw him this season when he was getting up didn't we see him inject himself with that stuff?

wtf?

fyi, I don't think the magnet crap pulls any craft onto the island, I think it just messes with the instruments which makes the crafts (planes, boats) crash.

Another question is how could the computers survive such large magnetic fields?

Lastly, WHERE WAS THE SMOKE MONSTER!

Yeah, I thought for sure the Smoke monster was going to be in the Episode, but I was wrong :no:

In the preview, when Jack yelled 'RUN', that's what I thought!

Also, i don't believe the hatch door was blown to the beach because of what desmonde did. I think it was from when the dynamite blew.

If Charley was at the BOTTOM of the shaft and that metal door has to weigh at least 20 lbs and it's at the TOP of the hatch, there's NO way Charlie could have survived the dynamite blow as that door had gone up hundreds of feet...not to mention it was not even on top of the hatch, but off to the side (when Mr. Eko climbed out earlier in the episode). Also, there were several minutes between the dynamite and the white flash. It would have had to go up thousands and thousands of feet.

What about this theory...I think the button has something to do with the ability to be "seen" by tracking equipment. So rather than scrambling if released, it clarifies. Henry seemed very "sure" when telling Michael that no one would find the island. They don't seem to want to be found. Henry also referred to them as the "good" guys. Maybe Dharma is some sort of new colony effort for people of like-mind who somehow object to things in the "real" world. When the button is pushed it scrambles any sort of device that would track...leaving the island untrackable. Desmond's girlfriend said something about him being in "prison". This could have been a reference to him taking a long sail alone for whatever reason. She obviously indicates when he's ready to come back, she'll be waiting for him. Maybe Daddy didn't like this, and as head of Dharma, conveniently led him to the island only to be lost forever. I think when the button wasn't pushed it somehow released waves that allow tracking technology to "see" some sort of trace on Desmond's boat. This would be equipment you would have if sailing alone on your boat in case of emergencies. It seems like he was some sort of serious boatsmen. Even the picture of the two of them show them at a Marina. Why I also think this, is the men in the snow said something about missing the signal again...the first signal may have come the day the plane crashed as Desmond had not pushed the button in time that day either. Were the "snow" men Russian? I thought they were speaking some sort of Spanish...Can someone clarify? I think they were at one of the poles North or South....

That's a good point. Not to mention now that other companies see that everyone actually watches for those on ABC, the commercial time price can shoot way up and ABC gets more profit :)

^exactly :). I was thinking that that heading might compensate for the magnetic field, though. Either way, whatever the white flash and hum did might have messed with the magnetic fields and perhaps Michael's direction might not be the right one... we'll know. IN MANY MONTHS. :(

Do you think Penelope's rich father set Desmond up with Libby giving him a boat and them trapping him on the island on purpose to keep him away from Penelope? I believe her father has a lot to do with the people running that project.

Penelope probably suspected her father was instrumental in keeping them apart, she knew about the Dharma project (from her fathers involvement) with researching electromagnetic anomalies around the world, so she paid those two guys to sit around and wait for the detection of the electromagetic anomaly so she could find him again.

Libby being an agent of Penelope's father: setting up Desmond with the boat, and also following Hurley after he won the lottery with the numbers is an interesting possibility.

i agree with you here.... i think her father is one of the directors of the hanso foundation. She also made a big point of saying "i have money, i can find anything" when she tracked Desmond down after he was released from prison. She then said in the letter that she was his one true love, so my guess is she knows what her father is involved with (read: island experiment) and has assigned the 2 scientists at the earth monitoring station to monitor for electromagnetic anomalies because she knows about what her father & hanso are up to on the island.

Given the facts so far, it seems if the numbers are not entered, the magnet kicks off and "brings in" new people to the island. It almost like a bermuda triangle, the magnetic power of the island screws with navigation devices etc keeping them off the radar and causing anything caught up in it to become "lost".... This could also explain Desmonds circular trip in the boat, he followed a compass bearing and went round in a circle... i'm pretty sure that bearing was the one given to Michael and Walt as they left in the boat...... :unsure:

The "another false alarm" reference (made by the guys in the polar research centre) most likely refers to the previous time that the button wasnt pushed in time, i think it was Locke that managed to get the numbers in, the guys in the station will have seen this, but due to the termination of the process they "missed it".

A side note: I noticed that Kelvin was the Army guy who let Sayid go free after they made him torture his general in his flashback.

Desmond found the note after he first opened his book when he was about to shoot himself. His girlfriend knew he was heading to prison even though he lied. One of the things she said to him when she first met him at the stadium was did you read your book, an intention to see if he got the note or not. He didn't read it, so he didn't get it.

Well, I guess we now know why Flight 815 crashed, so that's one major question answered.

But who is behind the whole island? Who are that group of people - "The Others".

"We're the good people.." just don't make sense! Ack, season3, season3, season3..

^^ Or it's very well planned, maybe libby was on that plane to get away and that guy (K-lib from the OC) pulled the plane down on purpose. I have no idea how to spell the guys name, nor do I have any recollection of what his actors name or character's name is in Lost :s

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
