Do the new MacBooks have the Motion Dectection Sensors the previous generation of MacBooks had and if so, will programs like iAlertU and Virtue (w/ Parallels) work on the new MacBook?
For those who don't know iAlertU is a program that acts like a car alarm and uses the motion sensors to detect someone trying to physically steal your MacBook.
And I believe Virtue is what some Parallels users are using to allow them to switch between OS's by simply tapping the side of the screen (like the SmackBook).
In either case, they exploit the motion detection sensors used to protect the hard drive to accomplish their respective tasks and I am interested in purchasing and using both of these products when I am able to obtain a new MacBook, but I want to make sure they will work with the new MacBook first.
Does anyone know if the new MacBook still retains this feature or even better has someone with a new MacBook installed and tested these products? Or if someone has a new MacBook and has not tested one of these products, could you please download an eval copy of iAlertU, test it out, and report back? Thanks.
I originally learned of both these products on blackmacbook.com when contemplating purchasing a Black MacBook. Here are the links:
