Which model is it? I remember the MacBooks and MacBook Pros that people use to smack to trigger actions. Developers figured out a way to take taking advantage of the motion sensor on the hard drive. I'm only asking because on my rMBP; it doesn't seem to be working.

Macs with SSDs don't need freefall sensors, and thus, no accelerometers.

Works great on my 2008-era Macbook.

It sorta works on my 13" rMBP, but not well.
