Given that there is a photo of him using a Lenovo laptop, you could be right.

Tip: Whatever sound/song you set your alarm to you will grow to hate.
Right now that Deep Note has good feeling by association, it will grow to be your nemesis as your alarm. Then movies will remind you of your alarm. :(

#17That really brings back memories. That sound means all the phonecalls, parking and standing line is over and you get to actually watch a movie as it was meant to be seen.
The engineering of the "noise" also had a practical purpose. It sweeps by most every frequency, including the entire vocal range. So it was impossible to continue any conversation without noticing that the movie was about to start. The seconds after that sound were always the most quiet of the entire evening.

#19The final chord in the new version still has an odd tuning -- sharp for D major, but flat for E flat major. I can't be the first to have noticed. I wonder why he didn't fix that.
It's detuned. This is a feature in some polyphonic synthesizers.

#20I'd love to see those 325 lines of code open sourced on github, ported to javascript and tweaked into a super awesome sound explosion of until now unheard proportions.
