    10 Power Vampires You Can Unplug

    I have a lot of gadgets, and leaving any (or all) of them (or their chargers) plugged in when not in use can rack up a girl's electricity bill faster than a hidden coin tunnel in Super Mario Bros. 3. Thankfully, you have the option of unplugging your gadgets and gizmos when you leave the house. Check out these ten power vampires you can unplug when not in use to stop the madness, help the environment, and lower your electricity bills all at once.

    I have all of my computer and desktop electronics (lamp, speakers, etc) plugged into one power strip. Will turning off the power strip help or do I have to physically unplug it from the wall?
