Twitter for Mac Super Secret clues...
I'm gonna go ahead and say this is the start of MH4. Even though it's highly unlikely, and that these symbols in fact represent upcoming beta features in Twitter for Mac. Nonetheless, thought I'd be first to say "MH4!!!", just in case I'm right 
EDIT: oh, now upon looking in the other thread about this it seems as though I'm not first. Also, I've noticed how the MacHeist logo brightens when hovering over the hint at the bottom...
EDIT 2: Just in case anyone reading this hasn't seen, here's the hint in question;
This is available not only inside Twitter for Mac, but also here, and perhaps more interestingly, here (notice the different text in the main section of the page)

We have 4 icons. A mail-ish one, a box, taurus symbol, and a thing that looks like a house linked to a small box. It could either be about MH4 or new features in Twitter for Mac.
Mail-ish one might be for updates via mail? Box might be file sharing? House thing might be parity across desktop and mobile?
Just guessing.

House? Kinda looks like documents connected by a line to me...

Can someone embed a picture for the thread? I didn't get the bundle so I can't. FWIW my guess is future tweetie features, but I would sure like a mail app, a font box app, an ftp app in a bundle.

They sound like good ideas. I didn't think about apps they could be, I was thinking about words or letters they could represent.

If you read the backwards written text, it says "Coming this year". Perhaps...

Oh, also... That MacHeist logo at the bottom of the view looks awfully like an iOS icon...

I thought bundle clue primarily because the directorate spend all their design time on long term income through apps. Recently they have been using MH as a bundle site rather than focusing on the heisting.

Err, yes. We already established that in the 2nd post in the thread which had a flipped version.

Someone had this posted in another thread:
I'm in 10.5, so I can't get the App Store to confirm if this is what it actually is.
January 6, 2011 7:00 pm
Mine does not exactly match the mhstatic link. The dots aren't properly parsed by Twitter, and it's missing the last couple items. I relaunched to make sure, and I still get this:

Interesting. I don't get the 3rd and fourth lines on my twitter app. ("More items.../another another")
Maybe those lines are simply put in there in anticipation of the new features?

It's the server it's being shown on. I guess it's not properly configured for UTF display.

Going out on a limb here, but anybody notice that the Macheist app/logo is the "correct" way even though the text is mirrored? And Mirroring the text (obviously) turns the logo backward?

Using the big logo in the back for reference for the "correct" way.
January 6, 2011 7:29 pm
I'd guess it just means that these features are "Coming Soon", and it's on the MH super secret page, explaining the safe logo.
The other guess is the mhstatic page is where the app is pulling the data/text/image from. Perhaps with some CSS to hide the extra two filler bullet points.
I’d be happy to be proved wrong, of course, but you know how it is. Assume the worst and you're only pleasantly surprised

Ok, I posted the mhstatic link. The Twitter app loads this page: http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/canary/ which references http://mhstatic.com/twitter for the css. The Twitter app itself isn't parsing the bullets properly and http://mhstatic.com/twitter was probably the test page for the design that now pulls off of atebits.
I want to say those icons are familiar but I'm not sure.

Sorry tegeril, I meant to go back later today and edit my post to give you credit. I was at work and didn't have much time to post.
January 6, 2011 9:43 pm
No worries about the credit, I just wanted to clarify what it was and show that it's just how that window functions and not really anymore than that except for some interesting URLs to look at. Googling for site:mhstatic.com was a fun try but it didn't have anything else new and juicy from the mhstatic domain.

I'm guessing there is going to be a hidden heist in Twitter for mac with the vault in the background

I think I'm hoping for too much...
But that cube reminds me of Companion Cube, so does that mean Portal 2??
Oh, I think not. There would be much more Portal-esk type pictures, and, frankly, Valve would never consent to having Portal 2 released as part of a bundle. For one, it doesn't use a serial number. It's registered on a per-account basis, so MacHeist would have to be able to directly interface with that system. Secondly, Valve already has their own distribution platform (Steam), and they do all their own bundles and promotions. A third party doing a bundle with a piece of their software in it wouldn't be necessary. Thirdly, the proportions of Valve to MacHeist are about 9002 to 1. That's an over 9000 difference of scale.

Oh, I'm sorry, I honestly didn't even know what that page was, just that I found it and thought it could be a legitimate clue. I'll make sure it won't happen again.

box with wavy legs / ipad being shaken / computer chip / letter with stamp, airmail
network / wires / ...
taurus symbol/ mercury symbol / QUICKSILVER... ?
box / cube
But yes, the MacHeist icon looks suspiciously like an iOS icon...
...your heist asplode...
January 7, 2011 10:20 am
The two squares with the connecting line is a flow symbol isnt it? To me this means a threaded conversation view like other clients provide. As I can't even see a "in reply to" flag on tweets yet I would thinks it's just upcoming features.

Yeah. I see what you're talking about. Looks exactly like an iOS icon.
January 7, 2011 11:32 pm
Well the image under the box is the zodiac sign for Taurus, so what is the bull well known for?
January 8, 2011 4:15 pm
The Taurus sign could be a clue to the date — April 21–May20.
I like glutnix theory though — Mercury = QUICKSILVER. I'd welcome a QS update.

Finally, some actual progress. I like that idea and it makes sense that it could be in that time frame.

There was a code commit in November, so it may be "dead-ish" but the authors are clearly still looking at it occasionally.
I can't post a link (this is my first post), but Wikipedia links to the Github repo for Quicksilver where you can see the code changes.
