Lord, that’s a terrible headline, but that’s the way I roll, baby! It looks like now that the term “vampire electronics” is gaining some traction in the minds of conscious gadget shoppers, more and more manufacturers are trying to make a buck off our fears of spending a few too many dollars on wasted electricity. Granted, it’s with little dollars that you make big ones, but I’m getting a little annoyed at the green veneer for profiteering. Anyway, back to the point, Bracketron’s GreenZero charger is pretty simple: it detects when your device is done charging and cuts off standby power. There. Money saved and now mother nature will hug you in your dreams.
It’s $23 and comes in iPhone and microUSB flavors. It’ll be unveiled at CES next week.

Last I checked being green was not about saving you money, but the fact that a lot of people saving tiny bits of carbon adds up to a lot of carbon saved.
How cool! That sounds like it may somewhat preserve your battery life.
