I've blogged about phantom power before, the power that devices use even when they're off. This phantom power can add up to a huge drain on the power grid and can cost you money on your power bill.
Other devices like the ecostrip will shut off power automatically, however there is an even simpler solution:simply unplug whatever devices you're not using!
Of couse, this isn't always as easy as it sounds. Some powerbars like to grab onto your plugs like their life depended on it. The "Easy Plugs" by Yoo-Kyung Shin is an easy and ingenious solution. Plug in your devices like normal, but simply push down on the side of the powe bar and the plug will pop right out.
Easy and quick to unplug your devices!
Of course this is just a concept, but I'd sure like to see this kind of system implemented as standard in powerbars. Could help promote unplugging!
