I came across this today threw an email on a group. What a excellent use of the technology! Why on earth did apple waste their time using it for preventing data loss when we could be swing the things around like jedi weapons!

Anyone tried this out, what's the stability like?
 
That's funny, because I had a similar sound effect for free on my non-SMS enabled PowerBook as the hard drive died. I should have taken advantage of it at the time!
 
yeah, my ibooks dvd drive makes the same noise too when i move it like that.
