Hi Alberto,

Have a look at the Sapphire project for your mac, it's really a very
nice interface, and as it's a plug-in for front row it integrates
nicely. I experimented with lots of front ends, ditched them all, and
I decided that I was going to have to make my own, before I then found
sapphire.

It's integration with IMDB and movie posters is an inspirational idea.
And now it looks like it is going to be easy to make your own plugins
for Front Row*, I can see all sorts of possibilities for home
automation in the same interface.
