    Conspiracy Theories
    This is most likely a joke, but after contrast:

    Any ideas?

    It also looks a bit like a Rorschach test
    EDIT: Well, it definitely is the first image of the official Rorschach test, shown on Wikipedia:

    Now why should there be a Rorschach test in Powder Toy...
    SUPEREDIT: I've just realised the Rorschach test was uber-simple to see in the original, I've just loaded it up on my awesome monitors and I can see it. My laptop wasn't powerful enough xD

    EDIT 2: The tptapi site has been updated with this
    EDIT 3: It looks sounds like it's SSTV (Just like in the Portal radio ARG) but I can't decode it as I don't have a dedicated sound card.

    The clicks go like click-click-click-short pause and so on with a humming noise

    I don't think it's gonna be a joke. Unless Simon decided to do the joke he missed this April 1st for Christmas...
    And yeah, it is the first image of the Rorschach test.

    Decoding the SSTV would be useful. If you have a graphics card that'd be easy. You can download the SSTV software I tried to use here. All you do is play the sound through the sound card and press "RX" to start decoding (as far as I know). The filename is TX 12352 which seems like a US zip code from Texas, but I haven't been able to find an address yet.

    EDIT: Another edit!
    Next to the sound file it now displays: Address the carriage when the url is on file, after the message is understood s/C
