5 lines (of code), to get the message.

If anyone wanted to know how to solve the first part (the image), you need to get the (r,g,b) values for the "odd" pixels in the lower right hand corner of the image. There are two rows of 86 pixels making 2 by 2 squares. This leaves you with 172 pixels, but only every fourth pixel matters (the unique ones). Iterate through them, convert the r, g, and b values from integers to characters, append it together and you get your first message.
You can see an implementation in the link above.
We can all write snippet apps to decode ascii like this but that's not our goal right now, what and where are the 0's we're supposed to be looking for? And don't forget to refer to the picture. We may have already figured out the most intensive part of the challenge, decoding the message on our own.
I say those few of us that actually know what's going on meet up at some external chat like Skype or something so we can convene our efforts in a more confined space so we can actually work.
