Gyration Remote

Visitor Q:

Yeah I was able to find it for $125. I just really like the play list LCD, it's a nice touch!

Was reading a review... "Another limitation is that you must be logged on the PC via the console in order to control iTunes with the remote. So, for example, if you are logged in to the PC via Remote Desktop then you can't control iTunes. Again, not a huge deal... "

Too bad that is the case.

Now your just being picky! :laugh: Just buy the thing already, you obviously want one!! ;D  I'm not sure I understand what they are trying to say in that review. Unless they are saying that it won't control itunes ON a remote computer.... but why would you do that in your situation anyway?

They are saying that you can't remote log into a PC, start iTunes and then control the volume with the remote.

I'm sorry I'm totaly lost here.... just not getting it (could be due to my 5 month old only letting me get three hours of sleep last night...he's teething) To quote Bugs Bunny " I must have taken a wrong turn at  Albuquerque!"

Did I mention before that these gyration mice work great for playing light gun games. If you buy this remote it will have the added bonus of being able to play say, Area 51 or Aliens the Gun with it. I use mine for this all the time and love it. I had this idea for a hack a while back and did some googleing and found a few folks who had beaten me to it. When I get some time and track down a second gyro mouse and a toy gun that I like, I'm going to have at it! (Though I will try to do better than the duct tape method)
