Running the last quoted text through Babelfish, translating first into Korean and then back to English, we get:

"The concert which it is living is imagined on Bergen skies: It is black in actual RFIDSOUNDSCAPE concert with white motion picture!"

Apparently it's a cleverly disguised racially-segregated film?]]>Nov 19th 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/Nov 19th 2007 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/
I think the idea is to use a DS running homebrew interfaced with the Christmas trees. The idea is to find wireless networks (war-driving or walking) and to mark them with RFID tags. However, you have to check to see if someone else already marked it with an RFID tag. Using the trees and DS to detect RFID tags causes the DS to make sounds, apparently a la Guitar Hero III. Furthermore, the chalk design a person uses to mark the network and RFID's is a D-pad.

If some random person saw an idiot on the street with this setup making noise, they'd probably call the police.

My favorite quote from the site is "War-Chalk a TAG KNOB." I have no idea what that means but I can't stop laughing.]]>Nov 19th 2007 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/Nov 20th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/Nov 20th 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/by the ways, "most commented on" are almost all zune posts ain't that som']]>Nov 19th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/19/blitz-play-hero-iii-game-uses-rfid-wifi-and-modified-dss-to-d/
