Found Footage: Smack your MacBook Pro

I think it's pretty neat, but I won't ever use it =/

And Jeduthun,
Look before you do something. Don't be an idiot.

And I must say, turning around and making comments about someone else doesn't help you seem very mature.

Uhhh, I just smacked my laptop across the room and now it's broken... Who's gonna pay for the damages?

Jed,

I'm very insecure. Mummy!

First off, the "jackass" comment [which was preceeded by "ya" in lieu of "you"] was in jest. stop being so sensitive.

Second, you were the one that purposely posted a misleading image. You weren't just incorrect.

Neat!

Clever but probably pointless. The idea is a good one and certainly a good use of the sudden motion detector but I'm not sure it makes sense for most people.

For example, I have 10 virtual desktops and I NEVER select *next* desktop because if I have to go from 1 -> 10 this is ten slaps of my laptop.

I often know EXACTLY where I want to go next because I keep application types on a certain desktop number.

If I need Emacs I hit Alt+F3. If I need my console I hit Alt+F8...

Moving from Emacs to the console would take five slaps in my setup...

If you read the comments on:

you'll see my explanation of how to get it to work on Intel Macs... But you need to reopen a recently fixed security hole. :/

Excellent !

Andrew, do you feel compelled to insult other people to prove them that they are wrong?

You must feel very insecure, po' boy.

wonderful.

but I'm disappointed there are no more mach inject for intel. it was a terrific idea (and a very dangerous one ! my dear hobbit) to improve DM.

the last comment is wonderful. source code, explanations and all the references. many thanks mr Harrison!

Well I got it working. You have to read the instructions, guys. Also you have to use a PPC mac to compile DesktopManager - mach_inject doesn't compile on intel. Fun but not super usable...
