Control Your Mac With Bluetooth Phone
reidconti writes "Ever wanted to control your Mac remotely? Now you can, with the Sony Ericsson Clicker by Jonas Salling. Play MP3s or DVDs, command Keynote and PowerPoint presentations, all from your Sony Ericsson Bluetooth phone. Nifty proximity mode lets you pause your music when you leave the room and automatically resume when you re-enter." It uses AppleScript, to control whatever AppleScript can control.
Seems like Ericsson now provides all those cool features that made having a Newton so exciting. Reminds me of the software that turned a Newt into a remote control for Sony CD Players and a couple of other things.
On another note, I've finally realized my dream of having theme music on cue when I enter the building.
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
That is /quite/ a nifty idea, the screensaver thing. (Assuming there's any security with the phone range thing at all.)
;-D
How about some more:
say "Get back to your desk you slacker" -- going out of range
say "Help me, he's coming right for me" -- coming into range
tell application "Safari"
set docList to index of every window as list
repeat with theWindow in docList
if URL of document theWindow contains "microsoft.com" then
quit
else if URL of document theWindow does not contain "microsoft.com" then
end if
end repeat
end tell
-- coming into range or going out of it!

Now I can live out my boxing fantasy by telling the Sony Ericsson Clicker to play the Rocky theme song whenever i enter the room!

Then you just have to figure out how to hack into your friend's Mac so that when you walk into his house the music changes to what you like. Damn, I need a Bluetooth phone.
Lack of eloquence does not denote lack of intelligence, though they often coincide.
