Scott: Knock-Knock!

As seen on lxer.com:

Knock-based commands for your [Lenovo] Linux laptop
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knockage.html?ca=dgr-lnxw02aKnockBasedCommands

Excerpt: "For the first time, you can hit your computer and get a
meaningful response! Using Linux(r) and the Hard Drive Active
Protection System (HDAPS) kernel drivers, you can access the embedded
accelerometers on Lenovo (formerly IBM(r)) ThinkPads, then process the
accelerometer data to read specific sequences of "knocking" events --
literally rapping on the laptop case with your knuckles -- and run
commands based on those knocks. Double tap to lock the screen, and
knock in your secret code to unlock. Tap the display lid once to move
your mp3 player to the next track. The possibilities are endless."

Sugoi! =D
