Great Technology but Awful Buttons2004-09-13
This remote is great for managing all your AV equipment. The web setup makes it (relatively) easy and it's nice to have a backup online, especially if your configuration is very complex.

The downside? The buttons on this thing are ridiculous. They were made just for looks and are way too small to be practical. In addition, there's no space in between the buttons, so you always have to look down to find the one you want - which is a pain. Finally, the direction buttons (up, down, left, right) are on a tiny ring in the center - what's up with that?

If they would fix the poor ergonomics and follow the lead of good remote designs like Tivo and Sony, this remote would be near perfect. Just make the buttons a normal size!

Until then, you have to put up with the buttons if you want one remote to easily manage your equipment.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
