I've already built myself a TV out of the Rpi, using OpenELEC+XBMC! Have a great remote, too in the form of the Yatse application.
I do appreciate the "hackerness" attempt of the article though, it goes to show why the Pi is so cool.

Luckily my TV works well with libCEC, so I don't need my phone/tablet every time.
