have you never ever watched the indoor jitter without you moving at all on any tracking app you just installed to check out?

and why would it only turn on if you look directly? contrary to the resolution, the peripheral awareness is quite high and useful. it's clearly a not very well thought through mockup. the silly flow me car, potentially obscuring a child or at least a bit of view with its opaque label is another proof of that.

reading the article it make sense. If your generic mp3 player doesn't eat that drm-infested sync shit, it's arguably better not to support any 3rd party device, so people won't get mad at how it works buggy, but just buy apple, because it just works. Also if the player does not work at all, you'll probably rather blame the player, than itunes. If it works, but shitty, you'll get mad at itunes.

the original spritz is a little smarter than most clones, sadly. But it didn't feel like they piped in the 10k most often used words or something yet. (they will make up like 97% of any text, so if you have 3% at a slower speed you loose little)

It's not just upgradeable, it's a custom build, even if it never changes after the initial choices.

The manuscript has a lot of unique properties consistent throughout the text. Properties that don't happen by accident while writing gibberish. If anyone can build a bogus-generator putting out voynich like text, it might be accepted as a 'solution' to this puzzle.

also: if it wasn't encoded / plain text and even borrowing from known or even latin languages, I'd guess you could identify words with heuristics...

cant tell if expert or 'expert', but look: http://www.ciphermysteries.com... found some more german critics http://scienceblogs.de/klausis...
