Aug. 11, a look at V, a super-universal remote and IE8 installation

Microsoft promised that, by today, it would stop automatically making Internet Explorer 8 the default browser in upgrade installs. Check out my story on Hot Hardware.I also wrote, for HH, about a new universal remote that can control up to 15 devices, sometimes with one touch, and CAN SEE THROUGH CABINET DOORS. Skynet or just cool?I also wrote on TV Tyrant about my extreme love for the original V miniseries and my excitement surrounding the new TV series that seeks to remake it.
