Additionally, the remote also functions as an "air mouse" so it can be used to operate the cursor on the screen, eliminating the inconvenience of using a wiredmouse.
Additionally, sites like Wired.com, PerezHilton, Technorati, and the HuffingtonPost use Javascript to look at what visitors do on their pages, including where they click, where their mouse moves, and what text they copy and paste, a practice not mentioned by Wired, for one, in its privacy policy.
