Ok so I watched the vid at the end the got the page http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/on_the_run that flashed across the sceen really fast.

The last two lines on the page are boggling me:

"When the time is right, I?ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to." (Sounds like a riddle, think it has to do with the odpathi> of "on_the_run")

And then "Contact Me." at the bottom of the page.

So i send an email to [email protected] and get back:

[indenfrom [email protected] <[email protected]> 9:01 pm (1 hour ago)

reply-to [email protected]

to <removed>@gmail.com

Then I sent an email to [email protected] and got back:

[indenfrom Loki . (Confidential) <[email protected]> 10:20 pm (30 minutes ago)

to <removed>@gmail.com>

date Jan 9, 2007 10:20 PM

subject Out of Office:

mailed-by smtp.microsoft.com

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

I think the intent is either a sound file to find or a phone number to call, but I am stumped (and a bit foggy eyed at this poin:wacko:o: ) and must go get rest. I thought I'd at least throw this out there....

-K

[email protected] - i shot an email that way, no reply ... i wonder if v has something to do with this... and why would it be confidential...

so i happen to pause the newest video at the this wierd point don't know if it will help but i took a screen shot of it

maybee it is nothing but it looks as though it was suppose to look like this if you watch she tips her head and pulls down her glassesshe looks like a cat

I found these images, much like everyone else and touched them up just a tad.

I am thinking that you use these pictures in conjunction with the hidden pictures in the other 36 puzzles that we don't have access to yet, and that they may lead to the answer of some even tougher riddle

I saw that unfiction started an email referral thread ... maybe we should start one too; this will allow all of neowin to get those 200 extra points. Because if 1 person signs up then another and so on and so forth so my email is 007ate007(AT)gmail.com if any1 is signing up and wants to refer please do.

the refferals are garbage to try to get, because for signing up that persom gets 20 points, you get 10...that actually LOWERS you odds of winning this thing hehe :p

its definitely worth it

OK, so I've been thinking about Loki's last message, the one you get when you e-mail her at Microsoft.

"Hmmm, not what I had in mind. Try harder -- then listen."

I just had a brainstorm. Try harder. What do you do when you can't get a hold of someone by e-mail, but you need to contact them? You CALL them. OK, so where do we call? Rather than calling random numbers ... we know where she works already. I called Microsoft. When the IVR (Interactive Voice Response) asked me to say the name of the person I wanted to speak to, I said ...

Loki.

The system didn't understand. So I said it again. And again. Then my wife walks in. "Why on earth do you keep saying that?"

Still, I think this is the right track. OK, so the IVR doesn't recognize "Loki". So I figure, we either need her extension number, or we need to find her real name.

Thoughts?

Edit: Oh, and I thought of using either 31415 and 31416 as her Extension number, too, but to no avail. I wonder what would happen if I call in the morning, speak to an operator, and say ...

"I know this sounds crazy, but if I were to ask you to connect me to ... Loki ... could you do that?"

Eh, what was that 4 digit pin from the beginning? most corporates use 3, 4 or 5 pin numbers as extensions....

hmm any ideas where they got the number from?

It might be important so here is what the message says:

Male Voice: venus

Female Voice: 4, 2, 1, 7

BEEP

Male Voice: vru

Female Voice: 8, 2

BEEP

Male Voice: quart

Female Voice: 4, 2

The numbers are wrong! (taken from lost)

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
