Apparently not... the pictures that have been floating around the last couple of days were evidently fakes...

um.... LOL.
- Sudden Motion sensor protects the hard drive in free-fall
Because the first thing I'd be thinking about when dropping a laptop is "I hope the harddrive is well protected!"

So as long as the screen or keyboard are ok, you don't mind losing all your data eh?

If you're doing enough to damage the drive then you're more than likely doing enough to damage the rest. Or at least cause damage not only related to the drive.
Unless of course this has been developed for all those people sky diving with their laptops jools 
(Dropped my laptop, admitedly an evil PC type without any issue, would say i was damned lucky to be honest though) |

If the hard drive heads are writing data when the laptop suddenly receives a jolt (not necessarily colliding with something physical - but a sudden movement) the hard drive can be damaged and data lost.
The sensor in the new iBooks detects sudden acceleration or decelleration and parks the heads, so it works before hitting something.
And potentially, your data could be worth far more than the cost of the computer!
