I was well stoned last night and mindlessly flicking through the channels, anyway i was pressin button 5 when i noticed a little bump on it. Ive checked 6 other remote controls ands its on them 2, but oh no it doesnt stop there, its on the 5 button on every mobile fone as well (shock horror)
Anyhoo moving rite along, does any1 outthere know the answer or have any theories on this.
And yes I do have to much spare time on my hands...
I think its so you can kind of know where you are on the key pad thing when its dark in the room.
Im goin along w/that theoryQuote:

plus when when you press any button on a mobile all buttons are highlighted with a soft glowing light.
Then I was thinking that it might be a reference point for blind people, but thats a bit far fetched (Its mad the kinda sh1t you'll think up of when your stoned)
For blind people? a type of braille or something?
Well kinda, but not exactly, like it would help them locate number 5, when they know where number 5 is it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out where number 4, 6 etc is. but like I said it seems a bit far fetched me thinks
Its really a refrence point for navigating around the remote in general. So you dont really have to look at.
it is a brail thing,, its to help people wit bad vision, same idea with rizla red, the corners are missing so they can tell which side has the gum!
also i have to say that i havent seen too many remotes that light up the buttons?
maybe im in the stiks too long! :cool:
hahahahaha yea no shit man why would they need to use a remote :wtf:so they can not watch tv? well i geuss they could listen but thatd be no fun, i think its what was said before "if your in a dark room" and not all remotes light upQuote:

That should be reference enough, but then again the bumps havta be a refrence point cause what other purpose could they serve?
