One possible way to eject troublesome CDs or DVDs
Authored by: abhibeckert on Aug 06, '07 03:00:32PM

In theory movement can damage hard drives, but people are always moving iPods around, and the failure rate is reasonably low. You'd have to be pretty unlucky to have a failed hard drive from moving yours once or twice if people are abusing iPods for years before their hard drives fail.

But that's mostly irrelevant, because newer mac notebooks will "lock down" the hard drive as soon as they detect movement. So you should be safe moving any intel MacBook/MacBook Pro while it's running.
