Comment on Google uses accelerometer API in Jules Verne Google Doodleparent

ThinkPads, Mac Laptops

Doesn't work on my new Thinkpad T510, running Ubuntu and Chromium 9.0.

I know it has an accelerometer (I've seen the bundled Windows software use it), but I don't know where the API to access that data is.

See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS .

I am not sure whether Firefox or Chrome/Chromium on Linux will actually read the data that is provided by hdaps.

Thank you! :)
