No. Show up to work each day, put a smile on your face and FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT! It's only two weeks so it won't kill you.
Why should you do this? Well, you may need that company for a reference someday. People sometimes think they can get away with slacking or dissing the current job because they've already given "official" notice, but that wears thin with the people you have to work with. Also, companies can and often do fire people in that time frame if the work is below par or the behavior negative impacts other employees. If you get canned from the old job, and for some reason the new job falls through or the new employers change their mind about you, you can just forget about collecting unemployment.
Bottom line? Be a PROFESSIONAL at all times! You don't want to get a "short timers" attitude and possibly shoot yourself in the foot.

I recommend that you give your two week notice and try your hardest to be the best employee you can in that time. That you will leave on a very positive note.
I have seen folks, who weren't good workers, use this strategy and co-workers and management thought much higher of them for trying so hard at the end.
I have also seen great workers, give their two week notice, and screw around their last two weeks. Co-workers and management recall them as poor employees even though they were excellent until they gave their notice.
Karma -- it comes around and goes around. Do the right thing; you won't regret it!!

You should give two weeks notice as a sign of professionalism, no matter how they treated you. Many businesses will go ahead and let you go, as people who are leaving just distract everyone else. Either way you will have done the right thing.

if you have another job, and you didn't promise your other job a "2 weeks notice", I see no reason why you shouldn't quit.
if you did promise a notice, you should see it through because it will reflect better to your future employers.
