How do you pair a PS3 controller to a Mac Running Lion?

So I was thinking since both my PS3 Controller and my Macbook can do Bluetooth, I wanted to pair both of them However I can't seem to do it successfully. I have a Macbook White Unibody 2010 running OSxLion. Anyone know how to do this?

I ran into this a few weeks ago the best solution is to Boot Camp (you can do it in a VM but you have a lot more messing around to do) win 7 -> "DS3 tool". wired is so easy to control things such as OnLive, bluetooth is quite easy but can require a bit of fiddling around its reasonably simple to pair, make sure the PS3 is off at the wall FYI to re pair with the PS3 plug it in directly to it with the supplied USB cable. hope it helps!
