Hey guys and gals! We FIND and PROMOTE people's work, we never take credit for things we haven't written, we just love sharing the things that are interesting, but if you don't want your work or pictures shown, please let me know and I'll take it off, we're not trying to harm any one here or infringe on anyone's copyrights, just late night entertainment for my friends and I after a long days of work.

We're not making money off the site, nor are we publishing anything to other places through feedburner claiming that it's our work, just a hobby of finding cool things around the internet, that's all. Sometimes we copy and paste too quickly and a link giving you credit doesn't appear, if that's the case and you DO want your work promoted, we will add in the backlink, we would love to give credit where credit is due!

Please contact me or drop a comment on any posts you guys don't want up and I'll take it off within 24 hours, thanks!

Your PS3 And 360 Are Killing Your Power Bills [Science]



Very serious, very respected Aussie consumer magazine Choice ran a little test recently. They plugged a bunch of electronic stuff in, turned them on, then let them run and added up how much each appliance would cost you to power for a year if you left them powered-up. The humble DVD player would run to AUD$34.42. A cordless telephone? AUD$2.87. A PlayStation 3? AUD$260. Egads. The 360's not much better, coming in at AUD$203, while the humble Wii uses a humble AUD$24.58. Sure, nobody ever leaves a console on for 365 days, so these are indicative, but still. They're indicatively reminding you to turn your consoles off when you're not using them.
