iPod as iControl

Tired of fumbling around with all your remote controls? If so, do what this popular mechanics-minded techie did and turn your iPod into a universal infrared remote control.

In this case, the “i” stands for ingenious. (The “i” could also stand for intricate as the step-by-step conversion process is quite involved.)

And, the “i” could also stand for... imagination ... as in I am continuously amazed at how such devotion to a brand can elicit inordinate amounts of imagination by its evangelists. The iPod is a case of simplicity breading creativity.

Nice reference. It's "elicit" not illicit unless it's a little naughty to hack this way!

Les ... thanks for eliciting a change in my illicit use of illicit. My post should now be grammatically correct.
