How one man built the awesome Chromecast accessory Google should have made

[Jeff Bower]’s remote was built around a Raspberry Pi model B that he hooked up to a case and buttons using connector wires. The total bill of goods for the remote was a little more than $55, the majority of which went toward buying the Raspberry Pi, which Bower also programmed to interact with Chromecast with the help of the Pychromecast, a development kit specifically built for Chromecast and the Pi. - Brad Reed,BGR [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
