lying in bed using my MacBook Pro

ok..if i wanna lie down with my laptop..on my side.. and watch/look at Safari for example. is there a way to rotate the Safari window instead of the actual machine. so i can just lie down and watch videos for instance? in other words, can i rotate the browser window? 🙂 thanx

MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.6), Intel Core 2 Duo

NO, this is not possible ...

Strange videos you are watching when you have to turn the laptop to view them?

This would be the first video on the Internet that is 90 degree turned.

Sweet dreams ...

You can't rotate just the one window (at least I haven't seen a way just yet), but you might be able to rotate the whole screen.

This little application looks quite interesting:

I've never used it, but sounds like it might do the job.

Not the Safari window, but the iChat window can be rotated with iGlasses. So if you somehow managed to get a video of a Safari window sent to you via iChat, you could use iGlasses to rotate the video in the iChat window.
