I watched the video again, and i noticed a thing.
On the "Quiet Eye"'s interface we can see that:
LIC Weyland Corp. - IDV User: P. Weyland
So the Weyland Corp. was LICensed the software, and Peter Weyland is using that.
No - that is just his number he is calling. He doesn't even have to be on the other line and nothing suggest the material was licensed. If anything - the program is most likely a spy tool - for why would Weyland need a 3rd party program to look at incoming messages? And if he did - why the hell would they call it Quiet Eye? It seriously sounds like a spy tool.
You think that, i think this. There is a trademark sign, and trademark text next to the 'Quiet Eye' name. This is not number: LIC Weyland Corp. - IDV User: P. Weyland
Yes I saw that. The LIC is the troubling thing. Does it mean licensed or something else? Most likely case is that it means licensed. I won't argue against that. However - the name is still problematic. Why quiet eye? If you want stare back at the video without anyone knowing you don't need the program. The program focuses on using facial characteristics to determine certain things about them. Why not True Eye, or Lens of Truth? Besides - if LIC does not mean licensed then the fact that it has Weyland on there could just mean that the account is Weylands, just like an e-mail account is yours, but if it is being tracked by an outside source, the name will still appear under your name, but within the program being used to get into your e-mail.
Anyways - it is not clear. I am not going to say one way to say one way or the other. I understand why you want to draw a conclusion on the LIC and the IDV USER bit at the front. I agree that it is strongly indicative of Weyland using it at that end. Like I said though, the name doesn't fit, and if you hack a program - it still will carry over a lot of the original users data over to that program and the screen it is being operated from.
Could it be that there will be a merger. Absolutely. Will it be that Yutani is being malicious and will try to take down Weyland by some devious means and force a merger? Or will it all be benign? Or is something much larger at play going on here. I am far from certain. Not going to read any more into this for now.
