iScream in iTerror when you macDropMe

Modern MacBooks have an accelerometer that hopefully allow the machine to detect that it is being dropped, so it can retract and park the heads before it hits the floor...hopefully.

A co-worker showed off a screen saver that draws a collection of balls that roll to different sides of the screen depending on what angle the MacBook is held at.

Given that they have all this, the MacBooks should be able to scream in terror when they are being dropped, and then whimper, cry or deliver an insult once they hit the floor.
