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."

    Kid gets an instant ticket to (in)fame, and he cries about it, because he's fat and awkward, and looks goofy. Ridiculous.

    Yes, the fat people always have to play the clowns for the skinnies right? Dance for us fat boy, dance. Your awkward movements amuse us. Maybe he didn't feel comfortable with people laughing AT him and not with him.
