The Amazing Mouse Jiggler
Have you ever been watching a movie on your computer and been slightly agitated that you had to occasionally move the mouse a bit to prevent your screen saver from coming on and interrupting your movie, because you forgot to turn your screen saver off and you don’t want to pause your movie to do so? Well your problems are over now, thanks to Wiebetech’s Mouse Jiggler, a $29.95 device which will constanly jiggle your mouse for you, available in fast and slow varieties.
This seems to me a colossally ill-conceived product, and I doubt very many people will pay $30 for one instead of manually jiggling the mouse or simply turning off their screen saver when they don’t want it to interfere with what they’re doing.

I think that if it was constantly moving your mouse than this could make the menu of some dvd programs stick. I’m sure there are some free computer programs that will move your mouse if you want it to

Some of us work in environments that use group policies to set screen savers, they automatically time out and require a password to resume and you can’t change the settings. In that environment the product might make sense - of course it would be folly to use Mouse Jiggler as it would be a gaping security hole and the IT police would smack you when they found it.
