A video entitled “SmackBook” is available via YouTube. In it, a 15-inch MacBook Pro user slaps the side of the Macbook Pro to switch windows via software that uses the Mac notebook’s built-in motion sensor:

Cool! But, why do you need windows again??
First!
if i had windows on my mac im sure id be tempted to smack it to!
great…all we have to do now is figure out if it’s real or not. Where’s a link to the software?
There’s going to be lot people talkin’ smack on this forum. But that may lead to more hits for MDN.
Of course that could result in more Hertz for your CPU.
Not the funniest perhaps but I thought I’d take a whack at it.
awesome.
and its the best thing for windows – a good slap.
That is sweeet!
If Apple was selling enough ipods and imacs, they wouldnt be showing off their new york city store on their web site to get attention and they certainly wouldnt associate themselves to some shoe company named Nike.
Because high tech jobs can be linked through computers, they can be outsourced, which means America’s economy can not grow any more. it can only go down.
I expect massive layoffs in the future as automated software will be able to get work done and replace 1000’s of workers.
at the same time a lot of other jobs will be outsourced.
this can mean only 1 thing..
a) another ressesion
b) a 1987 style market crash.

At first I thought he hwas running Virtue, but it must be Parallels. You can set it to show a few different transitions when switching from OSX to Windows.
2 things: outsourced hopefully you will be outsourced.
Outsourced,
You are an idiot. Offer some proof and use spell checker if you are going to predict a RECESSION.

Fake
Neat idea though
When you get the BLUE SCREEN of DEATH on Windows, can you slap the living crap out of Windows?
Outsourced
In my opinion you should have referred to the 1957-58 recession versus 1987. !957-58 is more germane to the topic.
The user isn’t “switching to Windows;” the user is “switching windows.” Both applications shown (as far as I can tell), are running in Mac OS X. This isn’t about switching platforms with a smack, it’s about shuffling through open windows. I think it’s pretty cool!
To ‘Outsourced’:
Why are you here?
I wonder if he put the MacBook on that placemat so that it doesn’t burn the table?
it’s not Windows, just windows!
holy shit thats awesome
Thats absoltely genius!!!
Very Lame, The most stupid idea I have ever seen for computers! LAME. Uh, I would like to smack the side of my computer to change programs. Better name would be The Fonz Book. Very stupid and gay idea! (I’m from the 80’s and gay had different meanings)
MacPana , it says windows not Windows™.
I did see a working voice control software, if you are working in OS X and want to switch to Windows, just say Windows. To switch back to OS X just say Mac.
How about a clapper – We’ll call it the ClapBook
