Re: Avoid using a remote's power button!

Here is the worst problem of it though, the power button on one remote can (and most likely will) give a command to another type of remote. I know this because of a universal remote I had once which was programed by going through all of the power button options. I would always see my VCR come on, my T.V.'s menu appear, and then my VCR start trying to record every time I would try to program the remote to the T.V. I have informed my mentor about this and he is going to talk to the GDC about it.

EDIT: I just recently read a follow up to this, and Gizmodo is no longer allowed to CES, I must laugh as they only brought it upon themselves.
