Turn that TV off
Have you ever been sitting in a bar or restaurant and wish you could turn off the omnipresent TV that seems to attract everyone's attention? If you have, then Mitch Altman has a product for you. Mitch has developed the TV B Gone which is a keychain fob that blasts hundreds of remote control "power" codes with the single click of a button. The result? All TVs within range of the TV B Gone go off.
Mitch claims that he was tired of going out with friends and having everyone zone out watching the TV.
I've tried to check out his site since reading about the TV B Gone on WIRED yesterday; however, it appears all of the press coverage has resulted in Mitch exceeding his daily bandwidth.
