[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOtkDKtzp4w&ref=chrismessina.me)I've been a fan of [VirtueDesktops](http://virtuedesktops.info/?ref=chrismessina.me) for awhile but had only used hotkey shortcuts to switch screens. Apparently I was thinking way too Interface 1.0 because now you can literally ["slap" your PowerBook to switch desktops](http://www.mactelchat.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=11&ref=chrismessina.me). It uses the anti-drop [Sudden Motion Sensor](http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300781&ref=chrismessina.me) to detect ... *what else?* ... sudden motion and relays that information to SlapBook. [Download it now](http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22148?ref=chrismessina.me) and start expressing your frustration... productively!
