There is NEVER a good reason to tether your laptop by the power connecter (why is connecter underlined red? who the hell uses connector? stop fucking up English, upgrade your dictionary!)

I haven't snagged myself on a power cord connected to a laptop, I think it's a myth actually.]]>Mar 7th 2008 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/Mar 7th 2008 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/
@Allen. Wait, what? I've never known anyone to do that. (until)

@Darryl. Interesting...never thought to do that. Thanks for the idea.

@The post in general.
That has to be one of the worst third party ideas I've ever seen as far as industrial design is concerned. It apparently has an audience, I just think it's silly.]]>Mar 8th 2008 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/
Spelt? Can't you spell at all?

I find this extremely hard to believe... sources? It doesn't really make sense that it could charge a battery and run the computer but not simply be able to run the computer on its own...]]>Mar 7th 2008 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/Mar 7th 2008 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/It's only "spelled" that way in the United States.

Spelt is a type of Wheat.

Portal, Bioshock, and Oblivion, mainly. It's called Boot Camp, and it's been out for a few years now.]]>Mar 7th 2008 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/
And I also keep the battery out of the laptop when not using the battery. why? because when outside of the computer it doesn't wear out the charging cycles. My over three year old acer travelmate still have over 3 hours when i plug into the battery. didn't do that with my last laptop and that battery was barly holding an hour out of two and a half. (thinkpad)

But I see no use in this. because if someone trips with this in they probably tip over the computer before the cable release. which would suck.]]>Mar 7th 2008 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/
It is spelt "spelt" everywhere except the US, if you have a mac, go to the dictionary and type in spelt.
also since you seem fond of Wikipedia, when you search it be sure to look at the alternate meanings.

Just because Americans like to screw around with the english language doesn't make everyone else wrong.

The software tracks the number of battery charges expected out of a battery and once those are up, you are basically off to get a new battery.

"We've all ideas the designers at Cupertino had good intentions"

We've is the contraction of we have; therefore, "We [all] have ideas [that] the designers at Cupertino had good intentions"

Just my observation.]]>Mar 6th 2008 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/magstay-pro-overrides-magsafes-releasing-abilities/
Mike10010100 - You can't just arbitrarily move words around and still have the same sentence. Whilst no doubt closer to what was intended (still doesn't entirely make sense), it's not what is actually written. If you get rid of the contraction, it actually shows the poor construction much more clearly: "We have all ideas...".

All your ideas are belong to us?
