How can I use my MacBook as a accelerometer?

[JamesWilson]

Thanks, I tried running SpeedBall but it would not work.

If the program you are using needs an accelerometer to work, then it should automatically work.

i'd have extra hard drives in handy. i dont know about you, but moving your macbook around with the drive spinning is asking for trouble

^^ I agree. might want to invest in a SSD

Yeah too many moving parts in a HDD

SSD = waste of money. At least for now, investing in SSDs means you lose money. HDDs have been tremendously popular for quite some time now. Until the prices drop and capacities increase, I'd rather have a bigger, better quality, proven HDD than a relatively new, smaller, and more expensive SSD.

well obviously. but to the OP, who wants to use his macbook as an accelerometer, an SSD might not be a bad investment.

Except for speed. And durability. Neither of which "durable, high-quality" spinning disks have.

Well maybe you'd rather have that until the HD failed because it was being jerked around all the time whilst being used
