Dumb, question but what is boxee? Why would I use it? I honestly couldn't figure it out from their website nor the wikipedia article about boxee.

It's a media center software (based on XMBC) with a focus on online content with videos from Hulu, Netflix, Comedy Central, YouTube, torrents, etc.; pictures from PicasaWeb and Flickr, music from last.fm, NPR, etc.

Why should you use it? It's a great step towards combining online content with a TV. It has a lot of pieces that are missing from AppleTV. (even though it's possible to install Boxee on AppleTV :))

I have a mac mini. Will it let me use the included remote to control it?

I tried it on my iMac, and yes you can use the Apple remote to control it.

Just download it and try it. You'll see why it rocks so much. I agree, the site doesn't do the product justice.
