I bought a MacBook about a month ago. A nice shiny white one. I plan on writing a full hands on review of it, but first I must thoroughly acquaint myself with this fine piece of hardware. I don’t want to be too hasty.
But what I’m about to reveal to you just can’t wait! I found what could be the greatest program ever written! It’s called MacSaber. Simply put, it takes any MacBook and transforms it into a Jedi weapon of death.
In case you didn’t know, MacBooks, and I believe older Powerbooks and iBooks, have motion sensors built into them. The reason for this is quite brilliant. If you, or anyone else, accidentally hits the laptop or knocks it off the desk, the motion sensor detects this and immediately locks down the hard drives to protect your data (more about this in my review).
Enter Ian ”isnoop” Anthony. This guy wrote a brilliant hack that takes complete advantage of the MackBooks motion sensor technology. Just install this little program and start swinging your $1400 MacBook around the room to hear the melodious sounds of a Jedi’s lightsaber. It’s music to your ears.
And to think, a week ago I was carrying my MacBook around the room like it was a new born baby. No more I say. My MacBook has since been converted into a finely tuned instrument of death. One in which I flail around the room as if I was battling Emperor Palpatine himself. Not unlike this actually.
I think it’s fair to say that this little gem justifies the purchase of my new MacBook.
