I would have loved to have known about it when I was in South America since I felt tiny tremors all the time but everyone just said it was my imagination. My theory is that they were so used to these minute movements that they didn't notice. A laptop may not be as sensitive as a paranoid norwegian though.

The earthquake simulator with Authenic Carol King music blasting away.

FYI, Google Earth has geologic filters that will show you historic epicenters and an available widget that let's you see live earthquake data as well.

I lived in CA for 13 years (and might move back again at some point) and I loved them. Even the Northridge quake. Of course, I might feel differently if anyone I know had been injured.
