"An accelerometer isn't very useful for a tower PC, is it ?" It is. You could use the tower in a wheel table like the Valve guys are doing, or inside any machine like cars or trucks or robots(btw I do so every single day), and they become useful for protecting hard drives, or rough sensing the movement of the car, or someone trying to steal the thing in the laboratory and activating a sound alarm.' We use lots of accelerometers in the lab today connected to computers. I'd love to use a common API integrated in the OS for accessing them. I would be able to rotate the screens of my arm mounted imac without having to press complex key bindings like today.
