macbook more commonly refers to both the pro and the base models.

it doesn't really matter if its a mb or mbp since they both have the accelerometers anyway.]]>Dec 10th 2006 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 10th 2006 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 10th 2006 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 10th 2006 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 10th 2006 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 10th 2006 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/
That's the purpose. The utility is of course "anything you can come up with, no matter how crazy it is". Insert links to the various SmackBook, MacSaber and other fun applications for it.]]>Dec 11th 2006 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/running a vacuum cleaner? Do you have to shake the MBP
and then it stops the roomba? Your articls didn't say what
this is used for.

And what does this hack do that will freak out your cat?
Using the roomba to exercise a housecat is a good idea.
Does it do that?

This is the best!
I love the "cause I can" factor involved...
Props to the dude that figured this one out...
Turning a $2000 MacBook Pro into a very expensive, yet very simple remote... I wish I thought this one up... Talk about a diss on all products Apple...
I might go buy myself a MacBook just so I can control my Roomba!
LMAO!]]>Dec 11th 2006 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Dec 11th 2006 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/roomba-obeys-macbook-tilt-sensor-commands/Jan 26th 2007 12:01PM
