Automatically put your laptop to sleep when it detects motion!

 This is one of the most useful systray apps I have seen in a long, long time.  This would resolve a major issue for me.  I have a weirdness lately where sometimes I put my laptop to sleep and then it doesn't really go to sleep, it's like a child that wants back up...

Love the creative resolution!

Brien Schultz has tied together some .NET and come up with a fantastic program called bedtime which uses the accelerometers in most modern laptops and tablets. His program monitors these accelerometers to detect if you laptop is moving, if it is moving, a countdown to suspend is initiated.
