Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
I still maintain that this "war" is a phantom at best, along with the absurdity of those claiming a victory or dominance so early in the game. There are MANY people, including console owners, WITHOUT HDTVs. And, as I've stated in other posts, many owners are clueless when it comes to connecting their HD sets properly, thinking that just because they've purchased a newfangled, widescreen display, high definition viewing is as simple as turning the darn thing on.
I'm sorry, but many Americans just don't have the know-how or the technical savvy to even begin to understand terms like "progressive scan," interlaced," or "720p." One in six adults is illiterate, so imagine what happens when trying to explain what "Blu-Ray" or "HDMI 1.3 deep color" means to them. Combine this with the earlier Engadget post today, stating that next-generation DVDs account for a whopping 1% of all DVD rentals on NetFlix, and you begin to see that these silly pissing matches only concern early adopters, not Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average.
Let's just all be happy that competition between the two camps is making things affordable for true market penetration...until movies on flash drives come along and kick everyone's next-gen butts! (LOL)
