Philips iPronto Does It with Linux

An anonymous reader writes "The Philips iPronto may well be a gadget-lover's dream come true. Ever glance around the family room in bewilderment at the number and diversity of remote controls required to make your entertainment systems go? If so, you might think you know why Philips created this brainy new remote. But getting rid of all those little button-studded black plastic battery-eaters isn't all this Linux-powered marvel aims to do." And all for the low low price of $1700.

What's new about this?

Don't most of the people on Slashdot "Do it" with Linux? As in pumping their tiny wangs in and out of the lubricated pin hole on their CD-ROMS? I know they ain't doin' it with no females.

that thing doesn't pass my gadget requirements

[AssFace]

I love gadgets. I buy things that are largely of no real use to me, and I tend to spend far too much on them (which is argueably redundant if I have no use for them - then any price is too much).

but I have two requirements for them and this doesn't seem to pass either of them:
1) it has to be shiny
2) it has to be smaller than my penis

I would even argue that there could be a third requirement, but alas, this one seems to fail here as well:
3) it has to fit in my ass

So Philips, if you are listening, if you want me to buy one of your newfangled remotes, it will have to be much smaller, and ideally mirrored.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I ever put the things in my ass - but it is reasurring to know that you can. You can confidently walk down the street with the calm notion that if need be, you could hide your thousands of dollars in gadgetry in your ass at a moments notice and the world wouldn't be any wiser... aside from the look of pain on your face and the sweat pouring off as you awkwardly make your way out of the bathroom - guiltily scanning the crowd for glances of recognition of what just happened.
