The Energy Saver Bar is a lot like that gadget that Belkin came up with, but far less cool. Essentially you plug in all of your home theater equipment, preferably the kind that won’t suffer drastically from having its power completely cut, and then when you are done, you turn ever thing off, and then hit the button on this power strip and watch the energy savings go up.

CES 2008: APC AV’s C2 power filter discretely protects your flatscreen
It's ironic that people are willing to spend so much money on high-end LCD and plasma TVs but then blanch at buying power regulating equipment that could save their screen in the event of a lightning storm or power surge.

Killer Notebooks Uchigatana packs desktop power
Not like say a Toshiba packs desktop power with comparable speeds, memory capacities and all that. This thing packs desktop power as in there is an LGA 775 socket with a desktop Intel processor inside the case of this laptop.

Apparently the battery issues with this laptop are pretty much the same, and they even had to beef up the power adapter to make it run, but they seem to have a pretty good solution for the cooling.

UPS (uninterrupted power supplies) used to be huge, ugly grey blocks that lurked in the corner, but Belkin are making overtures for more visible areas of the house with a design that's both vaguely attractive and also includes a handy battery-powered torch.
