"With great power comes a great power bill." — apenwarr, paraphrasing Spiderman's Uncle Ben.

For those interested in power management, Eric Boyd recently posted some research he did on power consumption of various things in his house, along with cost calculations. Of interest, he looked at what a number of devices consume when in "standby mode" (such as a TV turned "off" or a sleeping laptop).

Google is also looking into reducing their power bill (note that this is for their offices).

That was actually pretty interesting. I was more than a little shocked about the amount of coal it takes to power a household.
