If you noticed, they were using an Apple MacBook Pro (or Powerbook, I can't tell) which has an accelerometer built into the machine.

Which is why he states, rather humorously, that it would need a 'flawless piece of technology'. <br><br>The MacBook Pro is indeed amazing, and I plan on purchasing my first very soon, but even I know that it isn't flawless.
