10 Ways to Get the Most From Your Apple Remote

Thu 26 Apr

The folks over at simplehelp.net posted a very nice little article entitled ‘10 ways to get the most out of your Apple Remote’. The best thing about all 10 of them is that they are open-source or free! I particularly liked the idea of pairing your remote with your Mac to keep someone at the local coffee shop from driving you crazy as they flip through your iTunes songs.

Here’s the list:

  1. iRed Lite - your Apple Remote on steroids
  2. iTheater - an open source Front Row alternative
  3. iAlertU - good luck stealing my MacBook from the inet cafe
  4. Aurora - never get out of bed to hit Snooze again
  5. Pandora Boy - Pandora + Apple Remote = bliss
  6. Using the Apple Remote in Linux - for the dual-booter in all of us
  7. Tip: Pair your Apple Remote w/ your Mac - avoid embarrassment during your Keynote presentation
  8. Tip: Put your Mac to sleep w/ the Apple Remote - one less reason to get out of bed
  9. Tip: How to listen to Internet Radio in Front Row - until you-know-who kills inet radio entirely
  10. Tip: How to play backup DVD’s (Video_TS) in Front Row - should have been included by default
