What's this got to do with Osama Bin Laden?

Pretty pictures
but I can't for the life of me figure out how that actually forms a gyroscope.

The structures are resonated at a particular frequency, and any acceleration displaces the central mass which slightly affects the frequency.

Nice, but
I'd prefer to see a mobile phone with a mechanical gyroscope, which you had to keep winding up by pulling a string whenever you wanted to use the orientation sensitivity thing
