Dell is going green

We are consistently being messaged to conserve enregy, by unplugging all electrical appliances when not in use.
I would like to have an outlet adapter that would discontinue the electrical bleed, when the appliance is turn off.

This could be accomplished through an adapter or through the appliance itself having an anti-electrical bleed switch.
