VLC with remote

OK so....you all will probably not hear much about the intel mac...b/c it's basically the same...but better.

Outline of new, good things:

Flat, spaced keyboard
Sexy screen
Remote (love the remote)
Black in color, small in size

So...basically....the remote can run:

iTunes
iPhoto
Quicktime
Frontrow

Frontrow is a fancy GUI that display ipod-style big-texted menus over your entire screen that navigates iTunes, iPhoto, DVD player, and Quicktime-capable movies in your movies folder or iTunes. The big text is nice for distance-remoting.

Now..I wanted to watch anime with the remote...but MPlayer wasn't responding. So I thought VLC, b/c maybe they came out with an intel-happy port. And they did. But...apparently remote suppot doesn't exist. BUT! Someone wrote this hot little app that lets VLC recognize the remote....and it worked like a charm. I'm not a VLC person (shut up, kevin), and my apple remote days will continue to be successful.

Happy Tek-ing ^_^
