If trying to type the channel numbers into your remote has become too tedious of a task, then check out this concept remote from Art.Lebedev Studio.
Called the Paltius, it’s 20-inches long and features “as many buttons as there are channels on TV”, which sadly isn’t true for most people with cable (though it does do up to 399 channels with three range selection buttons).
Channel surfers, your new surfboard has arrived.
When I go for a run, I like to take along the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit to keep me entertained, so anything that makes running even a little bit easier is fine by me.
To add to their Nike+ line, Nike has created the Nike Amp+ Sport Remote Control, a combination watch and remote from the Nike+ kit.
Featuring a stainless steel buckle, an LED display for time and remote icons, and 50m of water resistance, it’s a great way to look good and keep control over what you listen to while you’re running around.

Twisted Melon just released Mira, a program that allows you to use the Apple Remote on any Mac. Besides Front Row, which can be installed using methods detailed on Andrew Escobar’s website, Mira allows you to control any program with the Remote’s customizable buttons, and can even launch documents and run AppleScripts. There are 40 applications built into the software, and you can create additional custom application profiles in just seconds. There is even support of external USB IR Receivers, if your Mac didn’t come with one built in. Sounds like a great solution to adding Apple’s excellent Remote features to your Remote-less Mac.
