If you have a table in front of you with a computer monitor and a keyboard on it, you could put your hands on the keyboard like you always do when you type with a little room between you and the keyboard so you could put your drink between your forearms, so the drink is also between you and the computer keyboard. Although this seems hardcore dangerous, you're unlikely to spill the drink this way, because the drink is right in front of you, so you wouldn't forget that you have a drink on the table.

By the way, the shorter and fatter your cup is, the less likely the cup would tip over, because it's center of gravity would be lowered.

Only if a particular model indicator shows that there was a surge on power line, it makes it more useful for the user as person can investigate reason or surge if it is happening repeatedly. Iindicator should be clearable manually by user.

- Neeraj Sharma

"...it's important a surge supressor has a light indicator that says the supressor part of the device is still working. Otherwise, you might not have protection" A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining your PC (page 161) -MonkGizmo

That indicator light cannot report all failures. Normal failure mode for a protector is to degrade. That light cannot report a degraded protector. That light only reports that a surge, much too large for the protector, caused its thermal fuse to disconnect protector parts as fast as possible. To avert a fire. That light can only report a type of failure that says a protector was grossly undersized. And a potential threat to human life if that fuse did not blow fast enough.
