Mystery developer image reveal + image analysis

On December 8th, 2011 I posted a challenge to guess who the developer was in this image: http://www.climagic.org/images/mystery-developer1.jpg

There was actually more to the image though than just guessing who the developer is. Data was actually hidden inside the image using a few different techniques that this video explains.

I see what you did there... 24:24

@rotamrofsnart I don't think anyone would believe me if I told them that it pretty much worked out like that. Not exactly thought. It came out to 24:20 or so and I streched it the extra 4 seconds. Then of course youtube added an extra phantom second. ;-)

That sounded incredibly fun. Can't wait to take part in the next challenge! :D
