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!"
My guess is that the site buckled under the weight of all the whining laments and petitions of the HD-DVD fanboys, distraught over their "superior" format having lost the war!
Seriously, all credibility of that site was lost when they violated their supposedly "neutral" status to ban any pro Blu-Ray chatter...even from insiders!
No big loss if their whole site burned down IMHO.
The banned "pro-Blu-ray" chatter was mainly stuff like:
"HD-DUD is fur suckaz...Blue-RAE is da bomb".
There was an immense amount of disinformation, FUD, and personal attacks during the format war. If you think the only banned chatter was about Blu-ray, then you're sadly misinformed.
Nobody banned insiders either - what a ridiculous notion.
Well then, no big loss if you stay away.
John, you ought to be careful saying such things while posting under your real name. AVAD Northwest serves may not appreciate your derogatory comments, and your employer would surely be embarrassed to see such inflammatory remarks made about a product made by Toshiba, whose products your employer distributes.
Being in a sales position, I think you may want to choose your words more carefully in the future, or hide your identity better.

The AVS forum is huge. I learned about home theater acoustic treatments, projectors, receivers, etc. from that site and I am a big contributor with over 2300 posts. I have gotten personal thank yous from people I have helped. I have never received any such pleasure from other sites including engadget!
Siva, I would like to personally thank you for your post above.
