MacSaber Turns Your Macbook into a Lightsaber

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the macs-and-other-jedi-mind-tricks dept.

Petey_Alchemist writes "SomethingAwful.com forum goon isnoop has developed a useless but fun app that takes advantage of the new sudden motion sensor available in Macbooks. The MacSaber 1.0 causes your Macbook or Macbook Pro to whoosh and crash like a lightsaber depending on how you swing it around. The reviews from those who have installed it say it is quite fun--although there is some concern about whether or not 'lightsaber battles' fall under warranty."

    "The Macbook (and before it, Powerbook) line has had the motion sensor for a while now. The sensor isn't the news."

    So waving it around and making it go 'vrrooommmMMm' is? Please.
