How xbox could rule.

I didn't say he was overweight. I said he was lazy

Please use my words in the context that they are given. I said and i quote "No wonder the world is turning into a load of overweight couch potatoes"

Looking to see who is knocking at your door from a snap to option on your Xbox is not efficient in the least, Most people could just turn their heads, and look out the window to do that.

And it's not just the 10 steps, either you are being obtuse or just trying to pick holes. No matter which way you swing, their are some good ideas out there, and their are some bad ones. Being so lazy that you cannot be bothered to get up and make those
10 steps once or twice a week as you put, it what is turning this world in to the I want it instant, i want it now and i don't want to have to do a lot to get it place to live.

Just the initial, i want to message my wife to get my drink is an insult to wives everywhere, and an insult to men who would even consider not getting off their own butts to grab their own drink that they so desperately want. If you want something that bad.
Go get it yourself. We do not live in the 50's, 60's anymore. Men should not expect wives to wait on them hand and foot, just so they don't have to pause their stupid game or film.

You call Being able to see who is at your door, without having to pause a movie.

Or calling on your wife because you can't be bothered to pause or stop playing a game for at least one minute to grab yourself one. Is not lazy.

I call that attitude very lazy, and with laziness comes the leaning towards laziness in other areas. This world has turned into an instant gratification world, with little or no effort put into forethought of health and obesity.

Do you somehow think it is some coincidence that as Technology has made our lives easier, that Obesity levels have gone through the roof. Technology and our ability to do as little as possible because of it has a major impact on health issues.

Since 1980 the USA had approx 45% of population overweight. That now stands at Approx 70%. That is not just through a lack of dietary requirements. It is instant technology and our ability to now not even have to move from our chairs to do most of the mundane
things we used to do.

So Yes, i call it lazy, and yes i say that being as lazy as the OP is being in insinuating that they never want to pause, stop or even get off their own chair to grab their own beer, leads to being overweight. Tell you what, you do as the OP wants, do everything
from your Chair for 2 weeks (excluding toilets obviously) and see how much weight you put on, you will be surprised.

"The volume can be adjusted when an app is snapped."

Tried it, got it. But still, why not allow you to toggle back and forth between apps and adjust volume? It cant be that hard to do, I think.

Eh, personally I see nothing wrong with being able to do those things from the comfort of your couch. I definitely can't see my front door from my couch.

I also think you're assuming quite a bit about a person you know practically nothing about.

@Hairy - You're assuming that just because the guy is envisioning other ways to make things more convenient that he automatically must be overweight and lazy. That's wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

Being able to see who is at your door from your TV is not going to have a significant impact on someone's health one way or another. Do you really think those 10 steps once or twice a week are going to make a difference? There's a big difference in laziness
and efficiency.
