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!"
most of the posters here are tech savvy enough to say 'sure, this seems reasonable', but i promise you, there are far more millions of people out there with zero clue about delivered content versus physical. they can barely figure out how to hook up their dvd player to their tv, much less configure a home network or a set-top box, and that's not even taking into the consideration the multitude of people still happily chugging away on dialup because they don't see the point of spending more for broadband.
and hd content isn't an issue, because there are still more analog SD sets out there than there are HD ones, again because average people just don't care, just don't want to (or can't) spend the money to upgrade, so they can't see the benefit. you know, we still get people complaining on a regular basis because we no longer stock full-screen versions of movies.
if ISPs begin capping bandwidth or tiered pricing, there will be even less enthusiasm for using services that increase the cost of a household's net connection.
while i agree that delivered content is the future direction we're going, i don't see it happening for quite some time.
