Man that is pretty cool. It detects the slightest movement at all and shows up. I wanna test this and see when the Space Shuttle returns and see if it picks that up at all. Thanks for the link for this. I hadn't seen this.

Should get some use here in California. Seems pretty sensitive
It detected the slightest touch on my desk and floor. I was really shocked how sensitive the sensor is in the MacBooks.

Thats pretty hard to do on a macbook, the speakers suck. The bass is sooooooo damn weak, iPod earbuds are better.
edit: Wow, a 500hz wave does alot to the Z axis.
