if your mac has an accelerometer, firefox 3.6 takes advantage of it, and (im not exactly sure) but judging from what it says and the picture, it lets you tilt your web pages.

Kind of like liquidmac.


and i didnt know till now what an accelerometer does.
it spins down the hard drive when it moves in an attempt to help prevent it from being damaged, which although annoying, explains the click that comes from my mac every time i stand up.

I could see this being beneficial if you want a 768x1024 picture for a website or graphic. But to use the accelerometer like the phone for games, I don't think that'll play out very well. Using to protect the hardware may or may not work.
