    Have you ever wanted to control things? Lots of things? How about everything? If you've been answering yes while psychotically nodding your head and smiling, you may like to know about the Philips Prestigo SR-M8015, the remote control with the crappy name and totally out-of-control footprint. The new addition to the company's Prestigo line is actually a large "tablet" remote, with a plethora of buttons at your two-handed disposal (including access to 15 separate devices), a color LCD screen in the center, and the totally antiquated / sexist "his and hers" option -- just in case you can't agree on any presets with your spouse / lover / good "buddy." Apparently the finish will go from drab, black plastic, to ultra-sexy chrome with "hot-stamped" detailing. No word on price or availability, but the SR-M8015 is expected in the next few months for around $150.
