This is cooool. And kind of scary.
Also, in the first section of the article they don't make it entirely clear that the "unplugged power cord" is for a laptop, as to rule out signals being sent through the power cables.
"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

Sweet. Next week will be the lightsabers?

Seriously though, communicating through ultrasone sound waves is a really cool idea. I guess this is the first time it's being used? But "while they were fixing things using the registry editor in Windows"? I don't think messing Windows up is a very hard task at all, especially when you're "in" already. "No wonder" would be my first thought instead of getting hyped up about it.

Either way, I think the virus is amazing for covering so much environments at once. And it's a little bit scary too indeed :D

EDIT: Also, I think some sort of proof(seed or whatever) should be provided. His chatter alone doesn't say much I guess.
********'s a pretty good fertilizer
