We've seen MacBook sensor hacks before, but this is debatably the more practical motion senor mods out there. This hack uses the motion sensor and AMSTracker software to quickly and easily switch between multiple operating systems. More »

With MacBook sensor hacks galore popping up all over the place it was only a matter of time before someone put the included MacBook motion sensor to some good use by developing a game that utilizes it. Check out Neverball, a Monkey-Ball-esque game that uses the MacBook motion sensor to control the tilt of the world and therefore causing the ball to roll.

All-Seeing Recordable Reminder Doorbell Plays Back Greets
Here's a device category that's been left largely untapped: the doorbell. The Recordable Reminder Doorbell uses a motion sensor to either sound a conventional chime or play back your own recorded greeting. Movement within six to 12 feet of this voluptuously-shaped device triggers your choice of chime or greets. Say hello or tell 'em to go away. Now if they could just make one where visitors can also leave you a message. Running on three AA batteries, it's $15 on the web. More »
