I can tell you from experience that even when off those cheap converter boxes that everyone is buying run quite hot. Its a great idea but I'm not sure you can buy this yet. Although the article states that it is being tested in hotels neither the article nor company webpage ( http://www.gfy-gfp.com/eng/zero.html ) tell where you can actually buy this. Anyone know if this is the case? For DVD players and especially all those new digital converter boxes that people are buying as required by February 2009 this will be a great addition.

If I have a computer that goes into STR (Suspend to Ram) mode, and the power's cut, the data in the RAM will .. expire. How could I expect it to resume back in "standby" mode? Even if I used a heavier standby mode, the system won't start rigth back up in standby. My TV, for example. If I put it into power saving and then cut the power, when that power's returned, it comes on. It doesn't go straight into power saving. Sounds like they're planning on many (most? a lot?) of devices to change as well for that little "pro" for the device. Okay, maybe I’m confused..
