Sorry, I still don't get it... what is the significance of the blue door? :confused:
It's a nod to the Blue Man Group from the Intel adverts and represent the door opening to a new era of Mac computers with Intel processors.









....or not.

That one.
OK then....


It's a door because as elitest Mac users they want to thumb their noses at MS Windows. Their regular 'Tar is show behind said door to show they support Apple, and it's blue becuase they all love porn?


...how am I doin'?

Is it metaphysical, like the spoon there is NO door.
Colder... but you know what? While you're headed in the wrong direction, I think I'll stop before people start beating me up in the Private forums. ;)

Quick and dirty. I know, I should match the color but that's an sketch. :)

A good start. Get the color sync right, and I'd like to see the curtains move apart to give it that 3D presence. I still laugh at your tar, when I see it. It's a winner.

Well, then they wouldn't be private, would they?
You pay to play -- cough up your $25... cheapskate. :p
I see, this is all just a clever marketing campaign. Everyone that hasn't contributed will be driven insane with curiousity. Then they will be forced to contribute to understand the biggest inside joke in MR history!

Themed 'tars = more $$ for MR. Evil, perfectly evil.

I know I said I wouldn't say anymore... but... I think that that statement proved true for other gags, but this time around, I think others would agree w/ me that it is much more significant than just that.

I'll let you know on Friday after the DirectTV guy installs a bajillion channels of satallitey, channelly, digitally goodness (NFL package!)!!

Ah... Sunday Ticket! They keep rumouring that it will be available in the UK... I live in perpetual hope. Currently we're limited to a double-header each Sunday (the afternoon games), the Sunday night game live after the World Series and Monday Night Football live (tho since that's at 2am, I don't often sit up). There's also a bar where some friends and I meet up since they also get Fox and ESPN beamed in from Saudi Arabia which sometimes gives us an extra few games. We get Primetime on a Monday evening and most of the ESPN Countdown/NFL Live shows etc. But not the holy grail that is Sunday Ticket :(

*sobbing quietly* I miss DirectTV... I have comcast cable now. I miss those glorious tv guide/menus... the wondrous "get info" for each program. *sniff* The start and end times, remaining times, the director and year for movies... and I only ever had basic. If I had gotten HBO... whoa there, whew, MR would be a few hundred posts less. :eek: :p Cherish the DirectTV.

It's too bad that I'm a Demi-God now. If I weren't I too could have made so many wonderful theories on what this is all about ... :( ;)

Aren't most people demi-gods, contributor, and moderators now? Is it just me or does it seem like the ratio of plain member to deities seem to be changing so that every other post is from the elite?

There still seems to be quite a few non-money-cougher-uppers.. maybe you lurk in the "wrong" threads/subforums? As long as people keep posting about OS X on an x86, there'll be no shortage of n00batoids.

I'm curious too but right now is not a good time for me to contribute. After the end of September I'll have some extra cash from some freelance work maybe I'll contribute.

I hope there is still something fun going on in there when I contribute. :)

Thing is, I like my numbers! I work hard on posting so I can reach 1,000 posts and get the next rank up... If I was a god, it would just say god. I want numbers! (sorry, not the most high-quality/coherent post i've ever made...)
