That is of course, if the iR tracking was poorly programmed and couldn't sort out random dots from a line of dots.  I'm pretty sure image processing has gone beyond what you could do with an iR remote.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andir3.0]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 21st 2007 10:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Astucia SolarLite LED studs light up highways after dark]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/astucia-solarlite-led-studs-light-up-highways-after-dark/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/astucia-solarlite-led-studs-light-up-highways-after-dark/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great!
