1. A system, comprising:
a sensor;
a display; and
logic coupled to sensor and said display, said logic programs a sensitivity level into the sensor to a first sensitivity level if a proxy indicates that the system is likely in transit and to a second sensitivity level if proxy indicates that the system is likely not in transit;
wherein the proxy indicating that the system is likely in transit comprises a first signal indicative of the display being closed and a second signal indicative of the system operating from battery power.
