Looks even like it's backgammon chips, doesn't it?
And is that The Black Rock behind the desk?
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I don't think so. Too sleek.
I think it's the boat that Desmond was sailing on, maybe.
In the race? That makes sense to me.
Desmond got the boat from Libby. But the race itself was all Widmore, right?
That seems right.
But in the non-plane-crash-y timeline, Desmond could have gotten the boat from Widmore, not Libby. Not everything in non-plane-crash-y timeline is exactly the same as things were in plane-crash-y timeline. After all, Jack has a kid and Sun and Jin aren't married.
Oh! And Daniel is a wanna-be rock star, not a physicist, which cracked me up.
Desmond, afaik, never went sailing in the other timeline. He'd have no reason to.
Faraday Daniel's a musician - I assumed classical piano and he was bringing in Driveshaft for the classical/rock experiment Widmore was talking about. Wasn't there some stuff about him practicing the piano in an original timeline flashback? I only remember it vaguely.
But, yeah to the main details change point, is what I mostly wanted to say. And regardless of where the boat came from, if Desmond won Widmore's race with it (not crashing into the Island and all), I could see Widmore getting a model of it for his office.
I want to trace all these tiny differences back to the bomb going off somehow. Although Eloise now has me thinking that they reflect the character's desires in some way - Sun and Jin wanting to not have had their innocence and romance lost, Jack wanting a family, Locke wanting a relationship with his dad (and his woman, I forget her name). I can't figure Sawyer and Miles out. Or Kate.
But since Daniel died, his desires don't figure into it, he just reflects someone elses? Maybe? Ooh, so maybe that dissatisfaction, for Daniel and Charlie, is what drives/allows them to the more pronounced bleed-through?
Edited for context.
I think if all of Daniel's wishes were taken into account, he would have been in a relationship with Charlotte in the sideways timeline.
