This topic has nothing to do with the Macbook Pro, even though its awesome.
I saw a video of a guy who got Front Row working on his Powerbook G4 at you tube.com. How could I do something like that? He even had a dock icon for it!

How does it run? and frankly, what's the point without a remote?

Who cares? Front row is cool with or without a remote!

Hi
I've used both (Front Row and Photo Booth are neat apps but are basically rev. As and require some 'tweaks') and I'd personally recommend Salling Clicker if you really want to use your Mac wirelessly for full entertainment.

It requires the app itself and some small inner OS tweaks.
Not a lot. Front Row is basically a front end to DVD Player, iTunes, QuickTime, and iPhoto with some limitations. Its job is to make navigation easier (larger icons, ...) front a distance.
