Apple Remote Now a $19 Add-On

For those still skeeved about the iPod touch's $20 optional software upgrade, here's another beef: the Apple Remote, gateway to the 10-foot Front Row interface, is now an add-on extra that'll cost you $19. I'm thinking Apple found out that most of them stay forgotten at the bottom of the box. Is this an outrage? Or does it make sense? [Apple Store] Thanks Lowmax!

Check out the way it works on this guy's MacBook, complete with a live graph showing the input data of the Wiimote. He even gets into Front Row with it.

Front Row for Musicians: Remote Control Mac Music Sets

If you're still trying to find something useful to do with that Apple Remote that's bundled with new Macs, maybe you should duct-tape it to the neck of your guitar. plasq, the developers of Comic Life, have built a new music app called Rax 2 that acts a bit like Apple's Front Row, only aimed at musicians. Hit a button, and your Mac switches to a full-screen mode displaying sets of songs for performance, complete with notes and level indicators. You can switch from song to song using your Apple Remote (or a MIDI controller). Rax will load up sets of AudioUnit effects and instruments for each song via its software mixer/host. Hook up a projector, and Rax will even pump out visuals. More »

New iBook Coming?

Want another Apple surprise after the big Macfest a few weeks ago? Looks like a new series of iBooks could be rolled out this spring, all built around a 13-inch screen and Apple's Front Row software. Supposedly, the new laptops will
sport the first major design revision to the iBook in several years and come bundled with both Front Row and the Apple Remote.
They will also have built-in iSight video cam and come with the Apple's Photo Booth software. Rumour has it that they will look like a slightly-smaller MacBook Pro, but in classic iMac white. Expect two retail configurations—one with a SuperDrive and one without, the latter hopefully falling within the sub-$1000 range. More »
