It took a bit longer then I expected, but I finally created a small script that is running on my server that will collect the new photos on the mainframe.  If anyone wants the images at the end, feel free to ask.

I see a hypnotizing sign(black and white)...I have something of an idea how the computer will decode that. But not what the final result.

Also, Pierce could you mail me the code as well? The problem is, it seems the picture is changing every 15mins or so. What time interval have you given?

i can predict the path of the spiral, and if anyone noticed,as the vortex/spiral grows, the more white/silver covers up the color.

Here is a predicted route.
The black part shows the current and predicted route.
The spiral is not actually black.
As you can see,the area near the vortex/spiral is silver/white.
Also,the spiral may not grow anymore.The area around the spiral is a "X" in silver.

Also, any news on the mainframe image gathering app,although it may be too late seeing there is only 11 days left.

I will keep you updated on the timer and if there is any noticeable change.
Recently, a few days ago, there has been more icons on the bar of the mainframe.

Days Left:11
Date:Sat, Jan 24 2009
Timezone:Pacific
Change:No Change Today

It seems to be retaining the radioactive symbol previously seen and has the spiral vortex.

The 28 day wait is almost over! now only 11 left! 11 days is still a long time. Luckily I have exams to keep me distracted!

The Main Frame image reminds me of the Devonthink logo, which is coming out of beta at the same time the Main Frame image is supposed to be decoded.

Hmmm?

green is pistachio, brown is chocolate..

but, what is the red flavor in Spumoni?

Apparently there are to be no repeat apps in MHIII so I would imagine if it is Devonthink it is either the pro version or not part of the MHIII bundle.

actually i change.

If the decoding is linked to the photo, we will get info via the photo.If it is the logo, then the heist may have to do with devonthink, but probably not.It may turn into something that has to do with the heist.

Or we may get notified via the bubble.

I think the three ruts in the white spiral mean that it can't be devonthink.

Much appreciated if you buy a macheist bundle from

It appears to be the logo.
I took the logo and placed it on the mainframe image.Guess What?
It is a perfect match currently.If the spiral does not grow it could be the logo.

I've used Devonthink since it was in the MH Bundle, and am excited about 2.0.

What's funny, it that I used Devonthink to manage projects and events, that is until I got a copy of Process. From MH.

Well, let's bring it on!

green is pistachio, brown is chocolate..

but, what is the red flavor in Spumoni?

Ammonites first appeared in the late Silurian to early Devonian periods...

It could be the icon, but it doesn't quite match, unless it has been rotated clockwise.

Neat!

By the amount of blue colour in the picture now, I now also feel that it might actually be the Devonthink logo! The only thing remaining now are the three coloured 'spikes' which seem to be showing otherwise.
