A few weeks ago, we brought you news about Remote Buddy. It's a neat little application that allows you to control almost anything on your Mac mini with the Apple Remote. The response to an application offering this kind of functionality was pretty enthusiastic, so I wanted to let you know about three other applications in the same category. They are iRed Lite, Mira and Sofa Control. You can learn more about each one of these applications down below. So if you're looking to get more out of your Apple Remote, I suggest you download them and give them a try.
Remote Buddy
"Remote Buddy provides you with a one stop interface that allows you to control almost anything on your Mac just with the remote control. Besides tools that allow you to emulate keyboard and mouse, eject CDs, terminate applications and much more, Remote Buddy also can control applications directly.
It does this through specialized plugins, so called Behaviors. Already included with Remote Buddy are Behaviours for iTunes, Keynote 3, PowerPoint, Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, EyeTV 2, DVD Player, VLC Media Player, Real Player, Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro, CoverFlow, Quinn, GarageBand, NetNewsWire, MPlayer OSX, Expose and many more.
For your convenience, Remote Buddy has a set of intelligent algorithms that can automatically choose the best fitting behavior for the currently running applications. Plus a table of the active mapping and the behaviors menu is always just a press of the Menu button away."

ekmedcab on 18 Mar 25How to use MedCab for shifting patients from Lucknow Cantt to other cities in India? MedCab is one of the top reliable 24 hours ambulance services in Cantonment, Lucknow. This is because MedCab services ensure a quick response on their emergency ambulance number at 18008-908-208. This ambulance contact number can also be used in case of intercity transfer of patients from Lucknow Cantt. The Cantonment area in Lucknow is a prominent locality of Lucknow. It was originally developed a military residential area by the British Raj and is a very busy neighbourhood in the current times. It is not limited to being a residential area and also has a mix of commercial areas. A prominent example is the Topkhana Market. Sahara Ganj Mall and the Phoenix United Mall are also in the proximity of the Lucknow Cantt. There are over ten good schools in the area to serve the needs of residents with children. These include Army Public School SP Marg, Army Public School Nehru Road, Kendriya Vidyalaya AMC, etc. There are also good hospitals, such as the Command Hospital and the ECHS Polyclinic. While these are in close reach of residents of the Cantt area, a lot of medical emergencies can require urgent intercity travel. MedCab can help with this and arrange for both on-road and off-road ambulance services. MedCab offers affordable air ambulance services and will transport your loved one safely to cities such as Delhi. MedCab is also one of the most trusted ambulance services throughout Lucknow as it provides 24 hours fast ambulance services.
