ok, ITT (http://www.armageddongames.net/showthread.php?t=81428&highlight=ilovebees.com) Masamune brought up a website that had apparently been hacked and was connected to the Halo 2 trailer.
I bring it up again because I found this site (http://qube.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), which shows me a lot more work has gone into this "hack" than I once thought.
See the corrupted images? It's because text has been inserted into the images. The text tells a pretty interesting story.
Speculation is this is some kind of game, one where everything seems real. The person's blog and email responses are strong evidence, but the fact that some "augmented reality game" forum members recieved packages of honey that contained letters that spelled "I love bees" shows this is some kind of riddle.
I don't have the time or resources to decipher a lot of this stuff, but I've been reading what they have figured out all day and it is pretty :cool:
Go ahead and open images in Notepad. The text is there for you to see.
I once thought this was a cheap marketing gimmick, but now that I see the work that was put into it, I think it was a cool marketing gimmick. I wonder what will happen when The Operator has her body?
*edit* Firefox is being a jerk and not displaying the images right. Probably something whiny like "Oh but improperly hacked images are a security risk" or something else. I haven't tried Opera, but I'm guessing your computer will catch on fire or something if you use it to view the page because it uses HTML and CSS and not OperaTML.
I'm pretty sure it's safe to use IE for like 2 minutes to visit one site that hundreds of other people have been to without getting spyware infected.
