midnight apps definitely has nothing to do with this. They have a legitimate release date, and they've already done something with Macheist (free copies of cha-ching), so don't worry about them

You can't break us down:

maybe this does associate back to the elemental business, because elements cannot be broken down in to any simpler form.

Elements cannot be broken down into any simpler form... that retains the original element's properties. Of course they can be broken down into protons, electrons, neutrons.

Lets think, what is the signifigance of them being like building blocks?  Making a wall?  Everything on the page seems to have to do with light in some way.

Lamp light
moon light
light of war?
fire light
sun light

when all the pieces come together they form a solid rectangular prism. and since the base (helios) looks like the periodic table of elements, and we have the hint "it's elementary", i think that's just the first step. we have to build on top of the idea of the elements, the next piece is deimos and we have moon and light/lamp.. i think that's the connection we need to figure out

speaking from the heist maker's point of view, i don't think so.


moonphases.com is probably a highly valued domain name, and I don't think they would be rich enough (or willing to spend that much cash) to buy it.
