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 think the AppleTV is definitely an elegant way to interface with the TV. But pretty much everyone who has a computer all ready has the capability to interface with a TV for a fraction of the cost. I don't get why it's such a big deal.
Right now, I have an HD to TV set-top box that connects and plays netflix "Watch it now" movies. It's called a laptop--one of my old ones with a vga to vga connection that still outputs pseudo-high def (based on connection speed) to my LCD HDTV. Oh yeah, I have an Apple TV except it's a hard drive connected to my wireless network and don't have to purchase movies on itunes to use it. PLUS, it interfaces with my DVR.
Nice try Apple. I still like you.
