Use the Wii remote on your MacBook Pro
Not had a chance to try this yet, but there are folks out there already trying to use the Wii remote for their own invention. Fortunately, its a straightforward bluetooth device and the communication seems to be unencrypted, so some people such as those behind Darwiin-remote have begun creating drivers and software to let you use the controller on other platforms (in this case OSX). It seems IR pointing and motion (accelerometer) are already supported. Makes for a very cheap mouse for presentations or installations 
Download Darwiin-remote here.

Love the dome screen! I’ve still not had much of a chance for playing around with the wiimote (though now that OIS supports the wii I think I might start playing around this w/e).
Am I right that without infrared its impossible to detect rotation about the y-axis? I can see that without that navigation would be a problem.
