That would rock.

(If anyone is reading this and takes the idea, naturally I want a slice of the profits.)

"a Sony-esque ripoff of the Wiimote don't you know"

I think they mean Apple ripped off IBM like how Sony ripped off Wiimote.]]>May 25th 2006 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/

I'm pretty sure that's some sarcasm being lobbed our way about the wii-mote.

Relax.

I have had this running since yesterday and it's actually pretty nice. You don't have to smack the screen, you can lightly tap the front side of your macbook to trigger a change, or tip it to one side and watch the screen melt away.

It only works really well on a flat surface like your desk, you get a lot of false positives using it on your lap. But with a little adjustment to sensitivity you could use it on your lap and switch screens by tapping your foot.]]>May 25th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/May 25th 2006 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/
Anyway, by the phrasing in the entry, "a Sony-esque ripoff of the Wiimote don't you know," they're implying that Apple ripped off Nintendo, which is factually wrong, as everyone has said.]]>May 25th 2006 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/May 25th 2006 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/smackbook-and-macsaber-best-two-reasons-to-buy-a-macbook/
