Found ANOTHER one!

the maze was completed a while ago, actually, and here's a picture of the letters overlayed on the dna strands:

btw, there was a thread over here that was closed down and although things have moved on a bit since then, there may still be some useful info there for the people here:

Another way to see the trappedinsidedarkness maze is to download the image and increase the brightness. (e.g. on iPhoto, photoshop, preview)

EDIT: Like the one kickme just posted.

There's got to be something there, note the page title:  trapped inside darkness.

EDIT:  Late, disregard this.

I think that might be a top view of the maze over at http://ms-randd.com/internal/. You see, near the middle to the right, a little symbol? Maybe if we get there somehow...

Yes, I think you're right. When I edited the image I got different numbers of dots with the different levels I used.

So disregard the dots but do look at the symbol near the middle to the right.

Use the overhead map and go to where the circle is in the doom maze.  Press play on the remote.  From there follow the directions in the briefing.

Kinda funny/ironic that the big part of the heist involved using the Apple Remote (or waiting for others to use it) and Sofa Control is part of the loot.
