@JoshWarner: did you pay any attention to the actual page that was linked to? Did you read it at all?
They made no such claims whatsoever, the idea behind these pieces of ART (see that word, art) are not designed to have any effect on the plugs whatsoever, they don't claim to lessen the power consumption or anything even remotely similar to what you have written.

It seems like most of the people here have chosen to comment before actually grasping the concept at hand - read the (over a month old) article they had on it over at Gizmodo for a better understanding: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/powerless/die-electric-uses-power-outlets-for-its-own-devices-279182.php
