Yea, I saw this!!, no doubt Apple will make it so that it will be hardware dependant and not a firware thingy, you can DL and install on your current Mac.  Just another way to convince people to buy a new Mac.  Smart business...

     Noms: it's using the motion-detector hardware that comes in the newish Apple laptops.

     BFG: It looked more like he was giving it gentle love taps. The motion-detector seems to be sensitive; there's no need to go all Ike & Tina on it.

The 1st time I saw this I thought he had the screens "timed" to change... then he was faking they would change with the taps... You guys really think this is real? I'm still unsure.....

No. There is a write up on how to make it work ([in video description]http://blog.medallia.com/smack) that seems authentic. I don't have a MacBook Pro to test it with, but it seems legitimate.

     There have been several games made to take advantage of the motion sensor in the MacBooks, and several tech demos as well. The technology is there to implement the SmackBook legitimately. It'd be silly to fake it.
