The video above is Firefox 3.6 repositioning web pages using the laptops accelerometer. I’m having a hard time thinking of the benefits to this but it looks really cool. The accelerometer is built into laptops to protect hard drives from falls or if you decide to shake it. I’m sure there will be some games that come out where you have to spin your laptop around to complete some sort of challenge. What do you think it will be used for?

And since I downloaded it I have had nothing but problems. As you will note I said I downloaded it yesterday. I got the link to the FTP server from slashdot.org. So I installed it and started to use it. But it wasn’t 5 minutes after using it it crashed. I am using a MacBook Pro runing all the updates. Well since it was the day before it was suppose to be out I figured that this might not be the actual product release. I continued to use it with more and more crashes. So this afternoon the real annoncment came from Mozilla. So I said I’ll go get the actual download from their site. Downloaded it, installed it. And what would you know the same thing. I have changed settings with no luck at all. All I can say is I’m glad that the new firefox 2 has a recovery feature. I thought this was dumb when I heard about this feature but ever since I installed 2 I’m glad it’s there. The only thing that came from the new firefox 2 is all my bookmarks are now in Safari and I have successful reinstalled the old firefox. I know the old one worked.
