This one is a tough call for me…clearly the unpriced CRISTAL Touchscreen Coffee Table Remote is cool; via a touchscreen interface, you can control every appliance and networked device in your home as well as see live shots of your home set-up to more adequately map out the controls for each device. But at the same time, with our lives becoming so increasingly sedentary as more and more technology is created, is something so undoubtedly expensive and technologically advanced necessary? The answer: Yes, so long as it frees up more time for me to beach on the couch and eat Cheetos. Chester Cheetah waits for no man.
