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!"
From what I can figure out, QFlix is just a branded DVD Download system, which isn't proprietary. DVD Download is a standard set by the DVD Forum for discs that allow you to burn CSS-encoded content onto them. The discs are playable in regular DVD players. QFlix is a service that allows you to download the content and burn it to a DVD Download DVD burner.
It solves the "How do you make downloads work for people who want to buy content without either eschewing DRM completely or else restricting people so they can't make permanent copies that play in existing players" issue. HD DVD's system was better, but HD DVD no longer exists.
