Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture

The Apple Powerbook notebook computer has found yet another hack to increase the coolness factor up one more solid notch. There is an accelerometer inside the computer which is used for hard drive damage protection during a drop of some sort. This device lets OS X know just what angle the computer is being held at. Not new news. Well some people have decided that there can be more of a use for this accelerometer than boring hard drive protection. A few different hacks have been carried out, my favorite is the windows on the machine rotating in order to always be facing the correct way. With technology like this I can read LIVEdigitally while riding roller coasters, a dream come true! No really, this could yield some really cool things in the tech industry. I’m keeping an eye peeled and an ear to the streets.
