Front Row , a medium center lotion that let users manage moving-picture show , music , and slideshow playback , is at the centerpiece of the fresh iMacs unveil by Apple last calendar month . But despite the company ’s insistence that Front Row would remain an iMac - only program in its initial discharge , some users have figured out ways to put in the package on other Macs .
The Unofficial Apple Weblog , for case , has posted avideoon its WWW site of a user in Switzerland who deploy the app on his Mac mini . Other user have taken the matter beyond merely promoting the cab — the McMac Web site is offering transcript of the Front words software program for download . The web site also posted a copy of Photo Booth , a utility that grant substance abuser to take snapshot with the new iMac ’s build - in iSight camera and add visual effect .
Apple turn down to comment for this narration . But representative of substance abuser illegally distributing its software is likely to attract the company ’s aid .
Front Row permit you play DVDs and navigate through DVD menus ; browse and play back any QuickTime - compatible motion picture in the Movies folder ; dally back slide shows from iPhoto books , record album , and slideshows ; graze and see movie trailers from Apple ’s Web internet site , and find out video content purchased through the iTunes Music Store . These activity are controlled via a remote control that ship with the new iMac .
The hacked versions of Front Row circulating on the WWW offer the same features , without the remote ascendance .
The app has garnered growing interest since the iMac ’s launching . More than 6,600 Mac drug user have signedan online petitionasking Apple to make for the software to other Macs .
