Kevin Kelley’s Cool Tools today features an UnCool Tool: TV-B-Gone. This is a keyfob-like device that operates as a universal remote with a single button. Push it, and it sends 200 power signals for the most popular TV models in rapid succession, so you can turn off any nearby sets. Old news, but it still makes me really mad, so I’ll renew my objection. Hey, annoying TV moralist — don’t like the TV in you local pub or restaurant? Leave. Just because something annoys you does not mean you get to make choices for other people about what they can do with their personal property.
Shame on you, Kevin Kelley.
