It might be Microsoft related, whois from VanishingPointGame.com has an address which has the same info for mozillasucks.com.

Whois for VanishingPointGame.com

Microsoft fires back at IEsucks.com - Source Digg

I'm sorry if someone mentioned this already, i'm not going thru 50 pages+ :) lol

I don't think this is a puzzle thing yet... It just seems to reveal more about something that will happen when the countdown hits zero... We'll just need to wait... (I hate Microsoft, why don't they give us free flight tickets, i want to be there (Bellagio Fountains))

I'll checkout the high quality video.

The red thing she puts into the box is a red dart (not a screwdriver, clearly visible in the hq version)...

The person that got the grid for immortalize me, did he have anything else? And he must be one of the people who got boxes. I think the letter from inzenity said that there is 4 people total that got the boxes. So that means that there must be 2 more codes for sure out there somewhere. And then theres the Riddle in the file directory so we still got 3 things to work out for sure before the timer runs out ; also im thinking there should be definetly more puzzles down the way to give us a clue to what happens on the 8th.

WOW! There is someone in the room with her.

Check out 00:00:32 (look at the far right).

Slip-up?

- The spot on the map is indeed the center sidewalk in front of the Bellagio fountains

- The 4 unknown objects on the table, are the wrappings of the hotel chocolates

I think that's the cameraman

You are right, there is someone other than the camera man

It's probably a slip-up...

Anyone, got a clue on these?

They seem to contain some formula's. They've got to contain a clue...

the rotated pic... the line in black writen on the bottom... its the same formula as on one of the pages on the vanishing point site..... my guess would be .... getting a high quality pic of that sheet of paper from a video would lead to all clues associated with the whole game

As for the images, two of them resemble watches (the red one looks like a side view and the round one looks like a top view).

And as for the formulas, the top one reads:

dy^3 = ds^3 - dt^3

That remindes me of Laplace transformations

And also a note, the transformations were discovered by Euler.

Sorry that's the best I can do.

Perhaps Inzenity can upload the real video from the USB stick, in it's true WMV format.

i dont know it appears to be differentiation but ive never seen anything like that before, im guessing you know a whole lot more about calculus than me :)

When watchign teh video i noticed a part of the backing music. It occurs at 00:00:11, 00:00:31, 00:00:52, 00:01:12, 00:01:33. Could there be some sort of pattern to this as each is followed by a short pause.

Its probably nothing, just something i noticed.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
