for one of the heists in MacHeist 1 a clue was embedded in a .jpeg photo by simply adding text to the end of the file.  I'm going to try this with the Flickr photos now.

i guess you're right, we owe him for that.  but he was always so sure of himself or quick to put other heisters' ideas down...

we have, however, made a lot of progress because of him, so i thank him for that.

So did Warbrain and the crew figure out what J8D4W9R5 stood for and is that how they got the zip drive? Does anyone know how they ended up with the Zip drive? What clues did they follow? (I missed out on all of the IRC chatter.)

word on the streets is that they got a bit lost, called in on the magic phone and got back on track with a hint from the powers that be. Though who knows what the Zip drive contains?! I'm eager to find out.
