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.

I tried this, and its really hard for me to test - the range of those DLink BT adapters is a good 10 meters. My phone gets picked up before I'm even in my apartment.

On another note, I've finally realized my dream of having theme music on cue when I enter the building.

That is /quite/ a nifty idea, the screensaver thing. (Assuming there's any security with the phone range thing at all.)

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! ;-D
