I thought this was pretty cool too.
"How many times were you left frustrated trying to change the channel on the TV
just to realize that the batteries are dead. Of course there are no more batteries in the house so you are forced to steal the batteries from a lesser used remote. Even more frustrating is when you need to use the remote that had the batteries robbed out of them. This problem may be a thing of the past, there is finally a remote control that is charged by picking it up and using it! Motion is what charges this cool unit."

"What have i done.? Is it too late to save me from this place? From the depths of the grave? We all are those .. who thought we were brave."
