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!"
It might be Sony's attempt to make BD+ (Blu-ray's "1980s Home Computer Game copy-protection system") look good.
"Sure, some Blu-ray discs don't have BD+, which means there's a good chance they will not play in your legitimately bought player, probably resulting in you not only having to take the disc back, but also getting insulted by a jobsworth at the returns desk who will insist you're a dirty thieving pirate for returning a defective disk, but, hey, DVD had the same problems!*
* Though no DVD that, y'know, followed the DVD spec and therefore nothing that really was a DVD, had those problems. So we're lying. But we're Sony, we won the format war, nyah nyah."
Interesting question: Is there any way the DVD Forum could intervene and force a withdrawl of said discs on the grounds that, as they don't follow the spec, they cannot use the DVD trademark? There was talk of Philips doing the same thing a few years ago to CDs that didn't follow the Red Book format, and Philips themselves started threatening publishers who resorted to similar tricks.
