Yeah, you really should remove SD/MMC cards by pushing on them. Just pulling the card out is a nice way to break the latch inside. With new SDIO cards coming out which extend beyond the slot, I can see many SD slots being broken because people will just yank the card out.

Not all SD/MMC slots have the spring action, though... none of my SD card readers, for example, require that; the card just pulls out. On slots which do have the spring, however, you should use that when removing the card.
