For those Apple fanboy pacifists, the guys that bought us the original SmackBook have decided to take the advice of YouTube commenters and designed a less violent way to use the SmackBook functionality. Apparently hitting a MacBook is bad karma, I just like to think of it as rough love. At least that is what my pops always told me it was. Rather than utilizing the motion sensor, the latest karma-friendly SmackBook uses the ambient light sensor to switch between applications. Still too much effort is being asserted—the next update should utilize the integrated iSight to recognize a facial expression and switch applications. – Travis Hudson

I gotta admit, the MacBook Lightsabre was pretty cool, but the SmackBook is even cooler, and actually useful. This little mod utilizes the motion sensor to swap between desktops on the MacBook. The sensor was originally included in the MacBook to protect the hard drive against hard drops and falls, but the SmackBook is definitely more useful. Just don't smack the MacBook too hard. Check out all of the instructions for your own smacking over at the medallia blog. Travis Hudson
