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!"
Ben could not do this post, he was to busy crying...
Actually I'm still in denial, but the real reason I didn't do this post was because I was busy working on something else (not engadget related).
Ben did DirecTv contact you directly? According to Chris's post they contacted some bloggers directly
Who's up for a Dumpster Diving trip to recover the "destroyed" testing units? I'm sure there's some Engadget Reader out there who could piece them together into working condition again.
