Now, I am positive that a year or so agao, I saw some kind of application that showed which way you were tilting your pb. I dunno if it was an OS X app or a third party app, but I just thought it was cool and was wondering if anyone knew where I coudl get it for my mbp?

Interesting. The next step would be to ask someone to create an app that "counter-tilted" the desktop picture by the same degree. Or turn your MacBook 90° and have the desktop turn 90° in the other direction so that you can view your A4/US Letter artwork in portrait mode...

It is a third party app that utilises the Sudden Motion Sensor in the latter PowerBooks and also the MacBooks that detects if your laptop is falling and shuts down the hard drive. You want to take a look at this page for an explanation and for software downloads:
