<p>Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom sure seems to be keeping busy down in New Zealand. A series of late-night tweets suggests that his <a href="http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2011/111221airvinyl">long-awaited </a><a href="http://torrentfreak.com/from-rogue-to-vogue-megaupload-and-kim-dotcom-111218/">music service</a>, <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-artists-rejoice-megabox-is-not-dead-120621/">Megabox</a>, is on track to launch sometime before the end of the year.</p>
<p>However, the way this story played out is a little wacky, as things involving Mr. Dotcom are wont to be.</p>
<p>Last night, Kim Dotcom tweeted a teasing message about an unidentified project in the works:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>I know what you are all waiting for. It's coming. This year. Promise. Bigger. Better. Faster. 100% Safe &amp; Unstoppable.</p>
<p>— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) <a href="https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/234802132166000642">August 13, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Next Web <a href="http://thenextweb.com/media/2012/08/13/kim-dotcom-promises-disruptive-new-music-service-megabox-will-launch-year/">took this to be</a> a hint regarding the timeline for Megabox, the new music project Mr. Dotcom <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/from-rogue-to-vogue-megaupload-and-kim-dotcom-111218/">has described as</a> "a site that will soon allow artists to sell their creations direct to consumers and allowing artists to keep 90% of earnings." He's<a href="http://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-artists-rejoice-megabox-is-not-dead-120621/"> also promised</a> there'd be more updates on the project throughout 2012, making the assumption the tweet was Megabox-related a fair one.</p>
<p>But Mr. Dotcom proceeded to tweet <a href="http://thenextweb.com/media/2012/08/13/kim-dotcom-promises-disruptive-new-music-service-megabox-will-launch-year/">the Next Web's article</a> and add:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Yes... Megabox is also coming this year ;-)</p>
<p>— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) <a href="https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/234878482495188992">August 13, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>So is Mr. Dotcom launching some other unnamed and heretofore un-hinted-at project <em>besides</em> Megabox?  if so, our money's on that <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;objectid=10826176">“doomsday device” </a>the FBI reportedly believed he had at the ready to nuke everything on Megaupload’s servers. 100% Safe &amp; Unstoppable!</p>
