    Oh gawd. Drink the kool-aid much? That remote is horrible compared to what you can get for Windows Media Center. Have you even tried a Gyration air-remote?

    I have that Apple remote and it's nowhere near as useful as what you can get for Windows Media Center. I much prefer my Gyration remote - http://www.amazon.com/Gyration-GYR4101US-A…

    I said "If you do enough research", which I have. You're asking me to sum up all of the reading that I've done, which I simply am not going to do in order to convince one person. D…

    Oh and if you want to go with a slightly more tame fact...the estimated value of illegal drugs, go with that. http://www.google.com/search?q=illegal+drug+trade+estimate Once you're…

    I am so lucky. I work at home surrounded by computers, so I really don't need a smart-phone because I'm at home most of the time. When I do leave my house, I take my LG Chocolate w…
