“Create and you shall be copied.” Apparently this principle doesn’t apply only to Windows Vista and Mac OS X, but now also to the Magsafe. However, I have much more respect for this copycat then I do for Microsoft. Why? Take a look at the list of tools needed to copy Apple’s Magsafe on your IBM Thinkpad:

The magsafe is not a totally new idea from Apple. There are many electric wares that have such magnetic contact. Though I have to say, this experiment looks rather scarely.

Wow. Somebody got really, really bored.
