Yah, but they don't mean anything.

I mean, I came up with the following: AKS DAH ISAA

The most I could make out of that was: Ask Had Asia

I first rearranged the cities to be numerical, then took the letter (or lack of) according to the number pre-assigned it...but, as I said, nothing. Any ideas?

Airport

You'll need this image to decode the times: http://www.flickr.com/photos/longzheng/351179088/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

For instance, the first one is CASABLANCA 10:00. Look at the decoder image where 10:00 should be. There you find a 1. So, take the first character of this city -- "C".

Now do this for each of them. Leave out spaces when counting characters. You get:

10 = 1 = C

7 = 5 = A

9 = 7 = R

12 = 9 = T

5 = 12 = O

2 = 4 = G

3 = 11 = R

11 = 2 = A

4 = 8 = P

1 = 6 = H

8 = 10 = E

6 = 3 = R

And you get CARTOGRAPHER

Cuckoos looks like something to do with a Windows OS build number and version.

51 0026100 2866

The Las Vegas video has the two missing coccoos in it, they are 3 and 7. If you input those, earth coordinates are shown: 51?30'02.61"N 0?07'28.66W - Big Ben in London. Thus, the solution to Cuckoos is "Big Ben".

nice one, how did you come by that answer though?

You needed to see this in the video. It's a hint towards email.

Email grainsSPLATvanishingpointgame.com and you get the following message: Very impressive! The answer you seek is "candelabra".

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
