[citation][nom]Rancifer7[/nom]To all those who want to know what purpose the sensors serve in notebooks...hard drives. If the computer detects movement, shock, etc etc etc, the drive will change how it reads. I see this very often as for some reason the New Toshiba laptops tell you every time the computer reacts to these sensors. Bring up a pop-up window, horrendously annoying.You would be amazed how little movement it takes to set them off, like hitting the left or right mouse clicks just ever so slightly.Or opening the CD-Rom drive, or closing the lid, movement in anyway really. I cease to wonder why laptop drives die so much faster.[/citation]


Thats one use for it, yet.

You can disable that piece of hardware to stop it reporting etc within windows too.

As for faulty hdd's in notebooks - its because of higher densities, movement and the fact that there usually running in tight spots and without any sort of cooling etc - more ware etc

yeah i had a mac prog where when you tilt the screen, the water on the screen moves back and forth. wow! then i quickly discovered that you can do the same thing with real water in a pan. i was quickly unimpressed with my mac's abilities..

I occasionally browse with my computer on its side. A long vertical screen is perfect for reading manga or for long narrow columns of text.
