Or you could download this freeware:

if you have a mac]]>Apr 16th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/Apr 16th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/
You cant turn off power saving cause your IT department has your permissions set strictly, I'm sure they could do it for you. As for the IT guys, they can turn off power saving at will. This product is useless..]]>Apr 16th 2007 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/Apr 16th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/
So Mr x buys one of these for pointless USD. Mr X sees Mr Y using his laptop, doesn't lock it, pops off to printer to pick up something. Mr X plugs in aforementioned USB device into Mr Y's laptop (presumably inconspicuous location).

Mr Y goes for lunch assuming pc will auto lock. Meanwhile Mr X can jump on as pc is still open.

Yeah I can see a really great use for this product.... Only positive uses indeed. There are definitely free things that can do this, but they take thought and effort. This just simplifies the whole process and puts the idea straight in their head without them having to come up with it. Nice.]]>Apr 16th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/
Or, it could be used for corporate workstations where security privileges are so locked down that people cannot turn off power management. I routinely have to shake my mouse every 3 minutes.]]>Apr 16th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/

You people need to use your brains instead of rubbishing the idea. Even if it appeals to as little as 1% of the entire market, that's a huge potential.

I wouldn't buy one. I'm sure I know at least one person who would.

I'd love to have this, 15 minutes is just not long enough to take a proper poop, and wipe. Most of the time I don't have time to wipe....]]>Apr 16th 2007 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/Apr 16th 2007 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/Apr 16th 2007 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/
However, I'd just buy $30 USD of L$ instead. That would last a while.]]>Apr 16th 2007 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/Apr 16th 2007 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/the programs then smartened up and searched for such abusing programs and then would lock your account for using them.
so, not only is this a good product for IT servers and things like that (sometimes you WANT the power settings to stay in tact, but want to have it not kick you off for a certain amount of time)
a little pricey, but there are plenty of good uses for it.]]>Apr 16th 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/wiebetechs-mouse-jiggler-usb-stick-prevents-sleep/

I took off my wristwatch, put it on the table, and set the optical mouse on top of its face... the second hand sweeps by every minute and nudged the pointer just a bit. Worked like a charm.
