Just in time to celebrate the fact that the PirateBay judge may have had a conflict of interest, we present to y’all the Pirate Remote. Nothing to do with file sharing of course (we’re just trying to be trendily topical) this puppy simply switches off any adjacent television while growling ‘ahar-har-har, matey’ or something equally menacing. Nope, we’re lying about that too. Sigh. €14.00.
As suspected, the pirates came up with something to counter the Ninja Remote: a remote of their own. The battle is on! With this remote you will be able to control most, but not all, European TVs and change channel, volume, AV/TV signal, mute and on/off. Recognition may take up to 2 minutes and involves pressing volume change and waiting until the remote sends the correct code for the current TV so that it changes; then you have the power.
