Still More Nifty Power Strips

smartstrip10.jpgThere's nothing like that feeling when you manage to find the obscure URL you thought you lost forever -- and just to make sure I don't lose it again, I'm sharing it with all of you.

Yep, it's yet another power strip, and one that deals with yet another pet peeve of mine -- always-on computer peripherals. Really, would it kill the guys who make the various doodads in my office to add an off switch?

This model is the Smart Strip by Bits Limited, so named because when it detects that your computer's been switched off, it also cuts off the power to peripherals plugged into specific sockets. Mmmm, effortless energy savings. What's not to love?
