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!"
LOL, you guys are funny. There's no innovation in tech.
You can't name one truely innovative thing over the last 20 years. It's all just minor improvements of things that have been around forever.
PC gui's are just digital representations of what they all are named "desktops". The internet is just a digital representation of phone books, libraries, and now TVs, video cassettes and home delivery of goods.
You're all just bummed that digital cable isn't unsercure as Satellite is. Or as screwed up as TCP is that allows individuals to use up all the bandwidth any cheap computer can use on a network with P2P type applications.
Thank goodness there are a few people in the world with a lick of common sense in charge.
Yeah I hear you... and the written word was just a minor improvement over speech! Give me a break...
In any case, Verizon is saying this as the sore loser. They're not included so they're picking up their marbles and going home. At the end of the day, they want something like this as much as the cable compaines do (read: not at all). They're saying it because there will be no repercussions and blogs that don't take the time to think about whether or not Verizon means this (read: Engadget) will say "yeah, it's about time, way to go Verizon!"
"You can't name one truely innovative thing over the last 20 years. It's all just minor improvements of things that have been around forever."
This is definitely one of the most ironic and stupid things I have ever read.
