Outlet Regurgitator Spits Out Greedy Electronics [Energy]

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_conreg.jpgIf your AC outlet has been wronged by some gadget that sips extra power after charging, you need the Outlet Regulator (http://gizmodo.com/tag/outletregulator/) (though I like my name more), a working concept by student inventor Conor Klein.
His device uses a timer circuit and electromechanics to physically unplug an electronic from the wall. Sure, products like the Belkin Conserve Surge (http://gizmodo.com/5370969/belkin-conserve-surge-kills-sleeping-gadgets) do the same thing without wires falling out of sockets. But Belkin's solution doesn't offer such a tangible F U to your cellphone.
