If you repeatedly hit “play” you’ll access whatever movie is at the top of their Movies playlist or directory. I tried this out with my MacBook Pro next to a few others, and without pairing the remote this does work exactly as suggested, all machines will launch Front Row in unison, which can then play your iTunes media library. The only defense against this prank? Pair or turn off the remote.
People end up dumbfounded as their computer suddenly has a life of it’s own. Just keep hitting play and you’ll end up activating their iTunes media, start playing songs, videos, etc, all from the remote. Since most users never disable the remote, you can basically hijack their computer as Mac OS X will begin to launch Front Row.
Now aim the Apple remote in the direction of the Macs and start pressing buttons. Want to know why you should turn off the Apple Remote? Try this: grab an Apple Remote Control and head to a place with a lot of Macs in a single room, like a school library, coffee shop, etc.
