Makes me think of the "MacBook Wheel" [0] from ages past.

It's really a shame how user-hostile design can be.

Haha! I haven’t seen anything from the onion in years. They kind of became irrelevant at some point :)

Apple TV remotes have always been so awful.

I remember when Front Row for the Mac was announced. I loved Front Row (although the supported content was far too limited).

But despite Fromt Row’s limited functionality and simplistic interface, the Apple Remote still didn’t feel adequate.

I just got an Apple TV and got crazy with the unintentional swipes and touches. Then I discovered you can turn that off, to click-only. It‘s much better now, maybe that helps you too.
