If you're like me:
#1 You can never find the remote
and
#2 When you do find it, the batteries are dead

If you have the same problem with #2, you'll want to check out the PoGo! EZPower Universal Remote. The remote is kinda ugly but just wind up a dial and you've got a battery-free remote. With the ability to control up to six devices (TV, VCR, Cable, SAT, AUX, DVD) for under $25US, I might have to give it a shot.[via Engadget]
