Most of prefer to keep our eyes on the TV when in couch potato mode -- which kind of makes the smooth glass interface of a touchscreen remote out of the question.

Sony in bed with the enemy?
I will mention no names other than Sony, but I know all of you have seen the latest round of computer software commercials in which some idiot boasts about "That was my idea!" for a new computer operating system. In the one I just watched, the kid on the couch was typing away on a Sony Viao. The Viao emblem was PROMINENTLY displayed in one of Sony's console competitor's commercials. ? So, what should we take from this? Granted, Sony computers need software to run, but that software manufacturer does not need Sony onboard to be successful. Hmmmm...... Sony could go exclusive Apple or Linux, but they do not. That other company could NEVER feature Sony computers in their commercials, but they do not choose to do so
