Didn't you pretty much provide the answer to what the problem is right in the first 4 words?

Because they need to tell us how great they are and lie about having the best code database. The problem is, we tend to believe them for too long.

cool. instead of a coffee table full of remotes, you have a phone full of apps...
Your receiver and TV probably have aps as well.
If apps on your phone excite you, its probably time to find a new profession.

If apps on your phone excite you, its probably time to find a new profession. But, how is this much different from a custom remote with a bunch of cluttered screens? I suppose that the custom remote will not constantly barrage the user with "buy now" pop-up's. There is a generation of user who is constantly seeking excuses to fondle their phone. They seem to appreciate an endless tangle of drill downs and pop-up's. And, they don't need to put the phone down, pick-up the custom remote, and risk missing the latest text or twitter missive.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

My remotes are truly custom. I have one customer, a control freak in every aspect of his life, who likes cluttered screens and I accommodate that wish. I have another who's limit is channel numbers, Volume, and power.

There are always ways to declutter stuff and give a simple interface in my experience.
