Still hanging on to my M8 because I don't want to lose the blaster. Nothing like watching a bunch of sports goons go crazy at the bar when I change the channel in the middle of a game.

Good question but I only found use in controlling public space televisions i.e. turning the volume up so I can hear it.

IR was a meme when it was used to transfer files, but it makes sense for short messages.
TV is dead, nobody ever bothered to make a decent TV remote (don't know why), but then again the majority of the tech industry is retarded and fears innovation.
The smartphone revolution made it clear that everybody is done trying to make something that isn't the next iphone so we are not even looking to make a decent phone.

Yeah, you're trolling but just in case some people here on /g/ are actually getting confused by you I'll link the wikipedia article that debunks your silly claim in the second sentence:

inb4 flat earth, sheeple and other silly stuff.

Light is a particle you sheep.
