Load the MH homepage on an iOS device (preferably an iPad due to the larger screen).

With one finger held down on the safe, use another finger to spin the background counterclockwise. Some symbols drop down and then a map appears.

Right. It's definitely a map of a "secret basement" of the flagship store. Can't figure out what to do/where to go next.

I'll post a screenshot of the map momentarily.

two fingers on the safe, turn counter clock wise. four symbols appear, keep turning. Empty symbols get filled in with icons. After all four spaces are filled a secret message appears. Looks like a map. Ipod screen is too small to read it...

No... they aren't.
There's the backward text, and 4 symbols. A letter, a Tarurs symbol a cube and the link thing. Those 4 symbols appear on an iPad when pulling the wheel counter clockwise.

http://mhstatic.com/twitter/ is the link for the secret Twitter webpage. Note the 4 symbols that reappear on the iPad when turning the wheel.

You should post a larger rez screenshot for those who do not own an iPad. I got it to pop up on my ipod but it's to small.

Well what I meant was that there is backwards text, alongside the symbols, which do in fact show up on the iPad when you turn the 'Maze' around.

And we're back!

The map said "reinforced vault door." So I guess it's behind the vault on the front page.

I know people wanted to use iOS devices for heists, but did they make it required?! I can't find a way to do anything on the home page on my Mac, only with my iPod Touch.

It is a vault, so are the possibly tumblers? If you notice, the 'Vault' seems to turn when you switch the page orientation on the iOS device...

Edit: It seems to move around on it's own, even without changing the orientation of the device..

And we're back!

I have to admit, there's a part of me wondering if there's any tie-in between this Heist, with the map to the Apple store, and the fact that Apple stores are going into some uber-secret meeting this weekend...

I know, the odds are against it, but still... one wonders.

So theres been indications of this before. Look at this pic from the backroom posted earlier this year. Same symbols, same message.

I think twitter for mac plays a part here.

Alright, I have a source at the Apple Store that is telling me that MobileMe is getting ready to change.. and it's called Castle. Now MobileMe has symbols.. kinda like the symbols that pop up on the iPod Macheist page when you turn the background. Then.. the Apple Store layout comes up. Coincidence?

I think going to the apple store is probably part of this - there were some augmented reality puzzles before - this could be one of them.

Does anyone know what the current IRC room is?

Probably. But I think its not about naming the new Apple Software. Lets stick with Castle.

guys i don't think its in the apple store, if you look at the grid it looks like its the building behind the store (being from nyc) around the apple store there are physical little metal posts around the store and placing the elevator there, than the unknown is inback of the store.... maybe im over analyzing but i think its leading us to.. oh my god i totally just found something. follow me, http://www.apple.com/retail/fifthavenue/ go to the pics and click on the outside movable one, if you look at the building behind you see the big lights like the cameras in the pic. 767 isnt the apple store, its the building behind. thats as far as i've gotten, i cant go check it out till Saturday, thoughts?

So no one is agreeing with the, its not the apple store, suggestion? Cause if you look on street view it lines up perfectly with the outside (http://www.apple.com/retail/fifthavenue/ the second to last pic drag it so you see the lights (cameras) and the columns (the wall) and the lasers (the metal pegs) idk
