i havent seen the pilot but i did catch one or two episodes. they weren’t great, but they were a lot better than i expected. i am a shatner fan, though.

well yes, a voice recognition input system hacked onto a mouse-based UI is going to be about as useful as when they tried to hack on a touchscreen interface onto windows (ie. it sucks). But it should be possible to write a voice recognition based interface from the ground up like iOS did for touchscreens, at least for 10′ interfaces.
though i suppose the same can be said for camera/gestures based UIs, perhaps there would be some (hard to accidentally make) gesture that would be required before it would take any inputs.
that being said, i’d probably still rather just say “computer, show ESPN” or “computer, display movies containing Jason Statham”
I find that to be a much more intuitive break from remotes. gestures, at least as i can imagine them, would be more like using a remote in that you would need sequences of gestures to do complex tasks.

id rather have voice recognition than use body movements to control my media devices. i dont want the channel to change because i am scratching my temple.

you quite probably have already checked this but once i had stuttering problems and i fixed it by enabling flow control on my network controller.
its probably a longshot for you, but i figured it was worth mentioning just in case.

I have my wireless keyboard receiver plugged into a USB cable and placed in the shadows where it still has closer to line of site than it does from the back of the case. I didn’t want it sticking out from the front of the case, but despite being rf i was still having dropped keystrokes and other interference problems when it was plugged into the back.

A built-in IR receiver is convenient, but I kind of like having my IR receiver at the end of a USB cable because its allowed me to position it up near the television where its more convenient to aim my remote at.
Obviously whether or not that makes a difference depends on your particular setup, but it is something to think about. from my usual sitting position I have a coffee table that gets in the way of line of sight with my htpc.
i have the redheaded stepbrother of the fusion, the NSK2480. I dont think it looks overly sparse without the volume knob, though if i were going to fix one thing on the both the fusion and NSK2480 it would be hiding the front ports behind a door or something. the fusion already does that with the optical drive, would it have been too much to not have a bunch of crappy ports clearly visible from the front?
(I do appreciate having a USB port, of course. i just dont want to see it)
regarding the LEDs, i just unplugged them.

speaking of the G25, on amazon right now the 50″ is cheaper than the 46″ ($1,024.75 v. $1,057.75)
