Comment on LG acquires webOS from HP, plans to use it in smart TV platformparent

Yeah. LG's high end smart TVs have something called Magic Remote. It's no kinect, but an improved version of this might work well with an WebOS adapted for the big screen. http://www.lg.com/global/magicremote/

I have one and it's awful. For one thing, if you have it sitting somewhere on your couch, any time someone else moves on the couch, a cursor will appear on the screen for 10 seconds or so because the remote will detect movement.

Mine does not do that. Gotta hit a button for it to wake up the remote.

Nice. I'll have to check if that's an option for mine.
