The Power Strip that Fights Vampire Current

Your computer is constantly on and your cell phone gets charged daily, along with countless other gadgets that draw power –all adding to an increasingly painful electric bill.  The PowerUSB wants to ease some of that energy bill pressure; it’s a computer-controlled power strip that can be programmed to turn on and off.

The four-outlet strip conserves power and lets you control connected devices and appliances through your computer.  The last outlet, reserved for your computer, is always on, while the other three outlets can be timed or set to turn on for certain events (like printing).

If you’re looking to save a little electricity and better manage your computer peripherals, the PowerUSB could be the answer.
