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!"
well thats how big retail products work. If this were an opensource project, it would be supporting everything under the sun. But since hd-dvd lost, it has to maintain mass consumerisim. They dont want their customers going, what the hell is hddvd in a couple yearts from now while running their software.
That would be like windows dvd maker including a help file on how to transfer your beta tapes to dvd, or nero supporting laser discs.
Speaking of nero, I expect they would pull a similar stunt and remove hd-dvd support in the future as well, probably not for a little while tho, like a year or so.
