Fun on your Keychain

Have you guys seen the "TV Begone" yet? Picked one up at the Mall of America last night and the GF & I almost split a gut. Everywhere we went that had tvs going "blink" and they're off. Most folks don't notice but a "pub" we stopped at - bartender was baffled - he'ld turn it on, we turn it off from like 60ft away. We even made a special stop at Best Buy to try it and you guessed it - their whole wall of TVs went out like dominoes.

Well since you're not near the Mall of America, I'ld try their website.
Google TV Begone they're like $20 but it's a blast if you're near anyone with tvs.

Haha, awesome. I can do that with my PDA too... it taps into the IR frequency of the tv, and presents me with a digital remote I can do anything with, change channels, volume, power, etc. Even the obscure functions like PIP.

This thing only turns on & off but so far it seems to work on any tv. GF was shopping today w/her friends and they "attacked" Sears, & circuit city. She's on a quest now.
