If you're finished with smacking your MacBook to make it do your bidding, maybe you can move on to tilting it and playing with the some mood lighting (in the Pro models) to really get things done? Lilt is a new a that harne es the power of of A le's Sudden Motion Se or (found in PowerBooks, M and M ) and the ambient light se or (PowerBooks and M only) to allow you to trigger the launch of a licatio , files and scripts. With A leScript su ort, the po ibilities are of course almost limitle , but the basic examples the developer Jonathan Nathan uses include waving your hand over the ambient light se or to change tracks in iTunes, as well as tilting the machine back to hear the time oken to you. Naturally, Lilt includes plenty of built-in actio like locking the screen, eaking text, controlling the volume and launching a , just to help you hit the ground ru ing.

Until November 30th, Lilt is offered as a pre-release version, free of restrictio . After that, the price rises to a mere $5. Not bad for a whole new way to bo your notebook around, and with Lilt, the odds are far le that you might give it a black eye.
