They've conveniently blurred or obscured the buttons which do not have rotational symmetry, like the channel and volume buttons, as well as the Play/Pause Button. Also, they forgot to flip the FF and REW Buttons - technically they ARE a vertical flip (over the X axis) but all the others are rotations (on the Z axis).

@nutbastard: wouldn't that place the buttons on the back-side of the remote?

@DeusExMach: No it wouldn't, dumbass. A Z-rotation occurs on the Y-axis.
