@Falconfire: yeah, you can turn down the sensitivity.

WOW! That's pretty damn cool. How about having it switch between your OS X and your XP with a slap of the screen? THAT would be truly innovative.

I suspect that in many user environments; i.e. sitting the computer on your lap, on the bed, or even on an unstable airline tray, this motion sensor utility may not be unusable. The concept however of hot-key functionality on the sides of the display is wonderful. I could see user-programible capacitance switches at the corners of either side of the screen. A light touch would activate anything from turning on ExposÃ© to launching an application. Michael

playing with it a bit, unless you can find a way to turn down the sensitivity of the motion sensor, its actually kinda useless. My typing was setting it off, and I dont quite type that hard, and forget about moving around with it.

What's next bluetooth foot pedals? While necessity may be the mother of invention, spare time is definitely its daddy.

great little mod, but the creators instructions can use a LOT of work. Be prepared for a lot of terminal fun until a app is created.

I bet that this becomes a standard form of interface. For Me, it looks like it would work better than Expose. It makes me want to shout, "Who's your daddy, whose your...", smack. I'll just have to wear a wife-beater when I type.
