The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Bluetooth would have been better... I know PS3 owners would agree.
I'm wondering how that would work... for now a Universal Remote just knows what IR signal to send when, with bluetooth thrown in it would have to know what kind of signal to send when with what information to send out, plus how would it handle pairing? I'd kill for that feature for sure, although for now the only thing I can't control with my Harmony remote is powering on/off the PS3.
No one is going to put bluetooth into a universal remote. Because of the way that the spectrum is dedicated to companies, it does not make sense the same way that RF-only devices would not make sense in a home theater system. IR, or IR-to-RF-to-IR, codes are the way things are gonna be controlled for the foreseen future in home theater. To control your ps3, just wait for the modded remote to come out and give you IR to program into your Harmony!
