Check for a dead battery in a Mac's remote control

Apple themselves are most likely the source, I was an apple tech when the remotes came out and this was the recommended procedure to tell customers.

You know, people CAN think of things without reading them on the internet

Umm, what? It's not like it's hard to think of this. The fact that many video cameras pick up IR is pretty common knowledge. I could have told you that when I was 10. Testing the same thing with a webcam isn't really a huge leap of reasoning. I also came up with this myself when my remote stopped working, though it's not from a dead battery. Mine's a weirder problem; it only works when held fairly level. When it's at an angle or upside down it stops signaling. I should probably get it replaced.

Anyhow, your reply makes you look like the "OMG THIS PICTURE IS T3H PHOTOSHOPPD!" people. Not everything on the internet is faked or plagiarized.
