Just turn them off !!

I was reading an interesting article on a new way to reduce power consumption recently Reducing the Power Consumption of Your Gadgets written by Brady Forrest from O'Reilly.

I'm on a drive to reduce my own household draw by any means necessary but at the end of the day there is nothing better than just remembering to turn stuff off!

That said some things are better at being turned off than others and until consumer electronics gets better at reducing/removing the standby on most devices then things will still require some intuitive thinking on the users part, as Brady points out though some are starting to get the picture it seems and devices that try to solve the problem are coming out
