Lots of laptops have accelerometers, now.

interesting. is this a yes/no system (move/still) or is there a measure?

a true accelerometer (3D) is not simple to do. a qicksilver switch is much simpler. I could imagine a metal ball (like a small mouse ball) surrounded with foam and coils around :-)

I often wonder why all theses friendly things are not better documented and showed on screen :-))
