Hi,

I downloaded the wallpaper from http://www.metacortechs.com

It has a lot of bits (0 and 1s) as the background.
Guess what... They are ASCII! And the hidden message is the following:

The machine turns, turns and must keep on turning for ever.
It is death if it stands still.
A thousand millions scrabbled the crust of the earth.
The wheels began to turn.
In a hundred and fifty years there were two thousand millions.
Stop all the wheels.
In a hundred and fifty weeks there are once more only a thousand millions;
a thousand thousand thousand men and women have starved to death.

What do you guys think?

Apparently someone decoded the binary message in the Metacortechs wallpaper:
