Thinkpad accelerometer hacks
Posted by Jeff July 26, 2006
The thinkpads have an accelerometer to protect the drive from damage if jostled. I guess this is a good thing.. in practice, it means that podcasts skip when I’m on the commuter rail from Cambridge.
The Macbooks have this feature too, and there have been some cool hacks like slapbook and macsaber. Why do the Mac kids have the cool toys?
Tatsuhiko Miyagawa has done a light saber clone, and a nifty way to navigate Google Maps. Done in Perl.
