Sweet, now whenever my machine BSOD's I can give it the middle finger and it will reboot. =D

hopefully it doesn't start acting up when i decide to watch some porn....

I can't wait to see how this works for sports. As soon as you start celebrating the damn cable box will change the channel on you. What's wrong with a remote does that use too many calories to pick up?

This sounds similar to the CableCard exclusivity when introduced to HTPCs. At first only OEM built HTPC's were allowed access to the hardware. I wonder if they will ever let us DIY-ers add this on to our HTPC's.

 

[cracklint]

wow, I will never have to worry about losing the remote again!

Yes, Kinetic-tech porn games for your PC. Hot-Coffee will never be the same again. The faster you thrust, the more she moans.

Mind you, I can see a lot of overweight gamer geeks, throwing their backs out trying to get the high score. 😉

actually that was released a while ago to the DIY group, just no one made any CableCards, look into ceton, they are supposed to have a quad tuner that you can get (~$400), though it has been delayed to july

[kelemvor4]

The more I started to think about that statement the funnier it got. Good one.

 

[dEAne]

I will add this to my remote collections.

MS will probably make a driver for it and a dongle to plug it into your windows 7 PC. if they think they can make a buck at it they'll try it.

rpgplayer - Its a bad thing for a company to make money?

 

[Userremoved]

Good old mouse is fine for me. Plus I don't want it to take pictures and upload them when I'm watching pron.

When vegging on the couch, moving my thumb around the remote seems like a lot easier than waving my hands or screwing with voice recognition over the surround sound.
