The Synaptics touchpad can measure pressure. That is, the little icon in the system tray which shows the touchpad in use changes colours with applied pressure so I expect that pressure data must be available from the device. And acceleration is easy to calculate from position and time.

I am not affiliated but I like the touchpad in my laptop.
Ads on other sites seem to run through some predetermined list based on an overall demographic of site users. Most of the ads don't interest me and I just filter them out with Proxomitron.
On the other hand, if I could choose the type of ads to receive and the range of products for which I would be interested in seeing ads, then I would want to view those ads.
Ads can be a link to useful and interesting information and the ability to let users select useful ads out of all the noise would be a marvelous benefit to this site.
The place I used to work at had a few Macs including a Mac (Appleshare) server. We used Miramar Systems PC-MacLan on the PCs. Pretty much trouble free and gives you post script drivers for the PC as well.
