Where do you put your Apple Remote?

[wizwaz3]

Then you heard wrong. The magnetic permeability of aluminum is the same as air (or plastic for that matter). There is no magnet in the Aluminum iMac save for the ones that hold in the glass*, some of which may be strong enough to hold the remote.


* Technically, the speakers also have magnets in them.

Oh. I remember a bunch of disappointed MacRumors ppl were frantically trying to find it when it came out and that rumor surfaced. lol. I guess MacRumors is the best title for these forums!

Mine is still in the box.
Sure, its cool. But a bit of a gimmick to me.

That's the most funny thing I've heard in a while. You've never used FrontRow from a couch or your bed? You don't know what you're missing.


I put mine on the stand.

What do you use it for?

 

[phungy]

What do you use it for?

Front Row, music, movies, photos, DVD player.

Does the ACD have a part that will hold the remote magnetically like the iMac does?

Mine sits underneath my screen, tucked up against the stand. I don't use it. Looks nice though...

I bought one of these. It costs less then $1 at any arts and crafts store (Not the penny, the magnet):

Geez, how much does the penny cost?!

lol, it's funny that you say that. I've actually seen attempts to sell pennies at costs higher than 1 cent. excluding collector edition pennies of course.

next to my bed...
the apple remote in combination with the software remote buddy is a true killer duo...I do almost everything with the remote when I am lying in bed.
