Accelerometers are standard features on notebook computers. When they detect they are in free fall, they move the hard drive to “Oh Sh*t” mode. The Quake Catcher Network was born to collect data from volunteers who have laptops that are compatible to detect unusual movements. A special algorithm can tell the difference between your nervous twitch and a real earthmover.
