what does Apple remote do except control the video playback on computer?

I bought a Apple remote recently since it could control the video playback on my iMac with Macgo Blu-ray Player. I wonder what else does Apple remote do except control the video playback on computer?

Basically anything made by Apple. It can control iPhones and iPods, even if they are hooked up to docks or stereo systems. Also works with the Apple TV. Outside of Apple products? Doesn't do a thing, far as I know.
