      I can't read the Kanji, but the first 4 characters say "Beta Test".

      Wonder what this countdown is for.

      Maybe then they will reveal where they buried Geohot's body...

      Thanks

      And, that twitter might not have been created yet.. the guy exists with a simple google search.. then again, thats probably not as accurate anymore. AS code relates to the automatic generation of an HTML file, jump, which was mentioned earlier. hmm..
