http://aperturescience.com/ has been updated recently.

changes
||The scene in the security footage has changed a bit, and there is a 1 in 4 chance of the video showing the Orange bot dancing in front of the camera. Also, the logon has been removed.

Also, someone on the Steam Powered forums found a "tabhandler" in the website's code, which means that Valve may add something they want to prevent tabbing to. Whatever it is, it's not there yet.||

Dunno what's gonna happen, but this seems like a good place to perhaps start up the hype again.

I wouldn't doubt it, but it would not be studio quality right away. They obviously used a computer afterwards to touch it up a bit.

I have found a few other aperture science websites
http://aperturescience.net/ North
http://aperturescience.org/ West

the north and west are the only 2 I could find and don't believe there any more due to the url of the next website
http://www.northwestartists.org/em.htm Ellen McLain plays the voice of glados i read somewhere.

there's not much to do on the new websites but if you go on this
http://www.aperturescience.org/images/ you get some nice images they seem to like scouts
The best image ishttp://www.aperturescience.org/images/340x.jpg

Yes Ellen McLain plays the voice of GLaDOS. They said that in chamber 18's commentary I believe.

None of those look like Valve-created sites. Going to guess all fan created.

You're probably right. Ran a WHOIS on both; neither are VALVe registered (as is aperturescience.com), both are protected/hidden registrants.

the northwestartists site is a coincidence, Ellen Mclain plays some voices in valve games probably because she works around that area. In case you didn't know, Valve is located in Kirkland, WA.
