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!"
To answer your points:
1. Nope. Virtually nobody is suggesting digital downloads be delivered via computers. The focus is on STBs - standalone boxes that connect to the Internet, with their own remote controls etc. Apple sells the AppleTV. Microsoft the XBox 360. Netflix recommends the Roku STB and the XBox 360. Amazon the TiVo. Dish Network the VIP622/722. Now, Apple, Amazon and Netflix offer the option of letting you use your computer, but they certainly don't expect you to use that to watch stuff on your living room TV. Jaman seems to be the exception here, but your comment seems to be directed at all downloads, not the downloads of one service.

Now, if you'd directed your comment at Jaman, I'd have understood it, but Jaman seems to be one of the only outfits that's web only, and realistically, they're probably as aware as everyone else that their service is of limited utility until it can be accessed from an STB. Expect them to make an announcement within the next year - or die an also-ran.
