    I bought a MX-1000 when they came out. Touted as "The last remote you will ever need", URC dropped support for the remote shortly after releasing it.
    That was the last and only time I will ever give URC any of my money.
    Now I am the proud owner of a Harmony One and couldn't be happier.

    This is an example of where technology just requires me to do more work.


    Like the speed dial numbers of old, I'm never going to remember more than one or two combinations.

    I wonder if this means Art Lebedev will create an entirely new, cool, product with this? Blogs will extol its virtues, geeks will admire it, and the world will await the day it emerges from the lab. And when it finally does ship, no one, not a single person, will buy it.

    In reply to Step Aside, Multitouch and Haptics: This Touchscreen Has Buttons
    This is nice and all, but it seems pretty unnecessary. If buttons are a concern of yours, this this doesn't look like it's going to be better than simply getting a phone with regular buttons under the display, and something with a very good responsive touch screen is not going to need this (who blindly pokes at touch screens anyway?) I could be wrong, but I don't see button/touch screen hybrids going that much further beyond the Blackberry Storm's method. There really doesn't seem much of a reason to.

    But you still need set button spaces. So you'd still need a standalone touchscreen for applications where where you touch is variable (dragging maps, scrolling, games where you're to tap a moving character). Unless, of course, they can have pixel-large perforations...

    I sincerely hope it doesn't require nappy dreads for successful operation, because I don't want to have to sacrifice my stunning good looks just to add a level of interactivity while I cry to pornography.

    Might help with long-distance relationships, if the whole movie-tie-in thing doesn't work out. Mom/Grandpa/significant other sends hugs? Jacket squeezes you when they can't.

    In reply to Novint CEO Demands Falcon Haptics Controller Be On Consoles By Year-End
    This thing, when you use with a game that really supports it, is amazing. Whether you use the ball controller, or the gun add-on, the sheer intensity of the force-feedback blows all other controller sout of the water. The miniscule vibrations of wimpy wireless controllers pale in comparison and feel like cellphones whereas this thing actually moves you. I've always been of the opinion that the so-called "rumble" in gamepads was the dubest feature ever conceived of, and kids just lapped it up. How is a weakly vibrating gamepad supposed to make me forget that the physics of console racers is pathetic and that I have virtually no tactile involvement? At least a force-feedback racing wheel fights against you in a semi-realistic way, but rumble pads are such a con.


    For flight, FPS and games where direct feedback provides a strong correlation to your in-game actions, the Falcon is very immersive. I tried one with Halflife and was blown away. I can't even come close to justifying the expense of one, but it would be really neat to see them become more widely supported and available cheaper as a result.
