Default Portal update released! WTF?

An update for Portal? Why now? And what is it?
Quote:
Portal
Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations
Radio transmission frequency? Huh?

Does this mean I have to dig out and start wearing my tin foil hat again ?

This might help a little. Looks like it could be a treasure hunt/whatsinthebox type thing.

OK guys - time to replay the game.

You will have to listen out for radios hidden throughout the levels (including the very first one!!) -- carry them to 'reception areas' in each level to receive a transmission - the red light on the radio will go green.

Seems there's a few to find, they behave as an achievement so you can keep track. I've found the first 12 already.

And warning - some of the 'reception areas' seem to be very difficult to find!

Someone at Valve obviously has too much time on their hands. Would've thought they'd all be too busy on HL2Ep3 / HL3

I suspect that this is the lead up to the announcement of the new HL2Ep3 somehow. They are probably hoping that it will take the community a while to work out what it is and keep us busy waiting for release.
