Whistle while you work to run commands on your computer

So there you have it. Another 'killer' feature. And it's open source. Voice

| 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.
