The lateral force is strong in this one

I knew that my MacBook Pro had a motion sensor in it, but I had no idea just how well it had been engineered. It actually knows the angle it's being held at in space, in two axes!

How do I know this? Cos MacSaber tells me so. Which is why I've been waving my laptop around like a loon. And not because it makes fantastic lightsaber noises when I do it. :-S

Laptop fight anyone? :-)

Connie Cox  ha ha I read about this on a DVD forum and I knew you would be doing it lol 
Siobhan Curran  There's also some stuff here (The PowerBook Sudden Motion Sensor, kernelthread.com) you might like to try. I'm not sure if he's updated them to work with the MacBooks though. 
Becky T  Motion sensors? In a Powerb...I mean MacBook? How cool is that? And here's me with a creaky old PB3400 with a pink screen... 
Rachel  "with a pink screen..."

Did it have to be pink? Silly question! 
Sylvia  Ohhh a pink screen. Well I can see the new past time of notebook wars comming. 
Becky T  It went pink when the LCD's circuits stopped sending the green signal! It's quite a nice shade of pink, mind you. :) 
Kate Weston  The Force working its magic upon you it is! Everyone knows good Jedi's have pink or other pale coloured Macs, while the evil ones (I mention no names) have dark or deep shaded ones. This is the origin of the expression "Have you got a light Mac?" 
Gillian  Sit vis vobiscum
May the force be with you. 
Siobhan Curran  Just found this one: Virtual desktop switching by smacking the side of your MacBook

:-D
