MacBook Goes Kinda Wii



Even though Eliza and I are now officially going steady (if by 'officially going steady' you mean 'she hasn't realized that she's accidentally left the web cam on in her bedroom for the last three days'), Lifehacker's Gina Trapani will always be my first and only Gawker love. Her sunny disposition, her chipper smile and her eager eye for cool hacks just makes her the most desirable Gawker girl around. Sorry Eliza!

So courtesy of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride comes this excellent video of a Macbook user hacking the tilt-sensor in his laptop (a sensor used to put the system in emergency standby mode when it goes trebucheting off a table) to operate as a Wanna-Wii gaming device. Macs are just so cool.
