the only good thing about macbooks

is that thanks to what i can only describe as the rather strange decision made by apple to include an onboard motion sensor in their trendy little machines, and the hard work of a friend of a friend, you can do this to them :D

and 'cos i'm feeling somewhat expansive today...

here's some linkage for you trendy style-over-substance mac users [or those of you with a mischievous streak]

it's apple... of course they did! you know what they're like: too much attention payed to form and nowhere near enough time spent on function.

there's no need for it to sensitive to the particular orientation of the device if it's purpose is solely to detect when the machine might potentially have been dropped in order to preserve data. a simple mercury switch would have sufficed.
