When TV is more important than time

If you find yourself even vaguely interested in this multimedia remote watch, there may be some 12-step programs to consider. What's even more disturbing is that it's not the only one of its kind on the market.

Unlike the previous touch-screen version, this one apparently doesn't need a stylus because it has buttons more like a full-size remote, which can work up to 5.5 yards away, according to GeekAlerts. But we still don't know why any sane person would need to keep a remote attached to the body at all times, unless tthere's a pacemaker involved.

I've gotta look into the specs on this watch a little more before I'm completely dissapointed, but I had a Casio watch just like this back in 1993. Hell, I still remember the codes for Sony's, Zeniths, RCA, and Magnavox TV's. I can only hope this has added features that allow you to customize controls like a universal remote or can connect to a computer or something...
