The Apple Motion Sensor
Not long ago, Apple added a feature called Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) to the PowerBook line. The sensor attempts to prevent data loss by parking the heads of an active disk drive after detecting a “sudden motion”, which could be due to strong vibrations or a fall.
But… there’s a better use for something interesting like this, isn’t there?
On kernelthread.com they think there is.

The Apple Motion Sensor As A Human Interface Device
In short, you can use the powerbook as a ‘Human Interface Device’... even shorter… you can now play games with your powerbook by tilting it! :-)
