Wired News: Hackers Tilt PowerBook for Tricks
Back in the day, when a machine went tilt, it was pinball gameover. But some hackers have given tilt a whole new meaning for Powerbook users. Now Apple has never utilized the full potential of the mouse, (How can anyone use just one mouse button efficiently?). But now hackers may make mice obsolete. Imagine if you will advancing to the next song by rocking your Powerbook forward….. it could happen.
Interesting what all motion sensing tricks may be coming down the pike.

I feel like it’s my duty to link to Why Apple Makes a One Buttoned Mouse
As a switcher, you get used to it. As a first timer, it’s the easiest possible model to follow.
As to the hack - IBM Thinkpads had the motion sensor technology before the new Powerbooks did. I suspect this could very easily be ported to the PC.
