My laziness knows no bounds. I have now installed an app that allows me to control my tower-PC using a window on my laptop. Why do I need that? Because the TV-tuner card and the good speakers are on that computer. Wanna turn on cable news without getting up? Click. Wanna blast Syntax or Deep Dish between conference calls? Click. Wanna mute the whole thing when the office calls with the latest crisis? Click.
If I could figure out how to make coffee by remote-control I wouldn't have to get up from this couch at all.
