Nice implementation. One thing to note is that this doesn't seem work on desktop browsers; open it on your phone!

It actually works for me on my MacBook (in Chrome)!

Which model is it? I remember the MacBooks and MacBook Pros that people use to smack to trigger actions. Developers figured out a way to take taking advantage of the motion sensor on the hard drive. I'm only asking because on my rMBP; it doesn't seem to be working.

Macs with SSDs don't need freefall sensors, and thus, no accelerometers.

Works great on my 2008-era Macbook.

2010 13", the last one with a Core2Duo if I remember correctly

It sorta works on my 13" rMBP, but not well.

this is so crazy, never knew my 2007 macbook could have the accelerometer utilized via a browser.

Working nicely here too. Late 2008 MacBook unibody 13"

Doesn't seem to account for orientation on an iPad 4 but works fine otherwise.
