Look at the way the interface was designed and you'd see why. . . <br><br>Actually the device was designed to keep the day-to-day tugging and pulling and jerking on the cable from damaging the power pin in the laptop. Nothing can help your laptop if you jerk it off the table or drop kick it across the room. <br><br>re; MagSafe. . . . Anonymous. . . . A. it's not dangerous and B. a surprising number of MagSafe endowed computers are equipped with a JerkStopper including Leo LaPorte (The Tech Guy).headjerkWed, 20 Feb 2008 23:18:31 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/02/08/jerkstoppers-not-quite-as-elegant-as-magsafe/#comment-1765699weird weird idea .. so what's better, getting your power tugged out, or your network port ripped off its solder joints? and won't help solve problems with laptops flying when they get tugged ....daveFri, 08 Feb 2008 14:21:50 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/02/08/jerkstoppers-not-quite-as-elegant-as-magsafe/#comment-1765703what? damn that name through me offvicmFri, 08 Feb 2008 12:57:24 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/02/08/jerkstoppers-not-quite-as-elegant-as-magsafe/#comment-1765702Magsafe rules.<br>This is far too dangerous for the laptop.<br>Cheap and dumb product if you ask me.AnonymousFri, 08 Feb 2008 12:44:37 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/02/08/jerkstoppers-not-quite-as-elegant-as-magsafe/#comment-1765700Personally, I'd rather my laptop's power be unplugged than potentially pulled off of the table it's sitting on. It doesn't take much to get my lappy flying, and sometimes my dog snagging the cable will get it going even without a device like this impeding it from getting unplugged.grinn.netFri, 08 Feb 2008 11:47:55 -0000
