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!"
oh please, this isn't a big issue. The movie will obviously playback on the laptop itself.
and if you use displayport converter to play into virtually any HDMI enabled tv, you are fine.
also, the new apple monitors will play it fine, as will virtually any HDCP compliant monitor.
My bet is the new macworld convention in January will have a bunch of new monitors and hopefully tv capable ones. the reason why they are doing it is to have DRM on hollywood content, it is hollywood requiring it.
My big hope is apple starts blu-ray reading laptops and desktops in january.
But when Microsoft did this with Windows Vista, it was OMG DRM RAAAAAAAARGH!! Followed closely by gnashing of teeth and cursing and screaming...
It'll be interesting to see how the Apple fanboys react to this tomorrow.
Apple fanboys will simply say this is all a lie. :)
This is a big deal because if you hook this up to any Apple monitor, save the ones that were just released, using the displayport to DVI converter the movies will not play.Apple hardware to Apple hardware and it doesn't "just work".
Not cool Apple.
