Kirazona has it about right. I use a Logitech IR extender with IR blasters behind the doors to control all components with the doors shut.

Our cat loooooves Apple cables. Every time one is out and dangling, she's out trying to gnaw it like it's the tail of one of her mouse toys. Must be the white color, maybe these will throw her off.

@Jason, I really thought about making this a Top 11 just to add the Diva/Opera scene from Fifth Element. In what may be a controversial move, I gave these the nod over it. Here's the details on that scene though..Fifth Element, Chapter 13, 01:27:25 - 01:32:15.

Jason, yeah I hear ya about the Roomba getting itself into a rut every now and then. But I'll take that over vacuuming the place myself.

Thanks Tom4Surfing. I'm definitely involved in social media, I think the trouble is my name is pretty common so it gets hidden. You can follow my twitter @CPinATX or Google+ https://plus.google.com/100683866416914908318/posts

Heather C, our laptop charger only lights up when the laptop is plugged in. When charging, it told us usage was just 1 cent a day.

If your charges always has a light on, regardless of charging, I'd guess you're using less than 84 cents a year for it in standby (not charging) mode. Coming from what we say from other devices that just have status lights on when in idle.

Thanks Andsetinn. Devices vary a lot, so you're right about suggesting others to check into renting a watt meter if they are really curious about their specific energy situation.

The LCD monitor that registered 0 for us, curiously enough has an energy star logo stamped on the front. While the other doesn't. So perhaps that explains a couple things.

The Plasma TV tested was the VT30, which also has quite a bit of green features for energy usage. I was surprised to see 0's come up for that one in particular.

It's not photoshopped. Just paused the feed and toggled between the new calibrated setting on the TV and the THX mode we were using before.
