I've wondered, ever since I was a kid and remote controls first became prevalent, why TVs and such aren't voice controlled. Of course, I'm not a channel surfer; with a voice system, my wife would talk herself hoarse and still not be able to change channels nearly fast enough.<p>Side rant: I hate how most devices now have few/no controls on the unit and require the remote to use them fully. Generally, I'll get up and walk over to them before I'll look for a misplaced remote.
