so i have been seeing all these articles in the news about "vampire power"...and no thats not where you can have the power of a vampire. its about electrical devices that use power even when they are supposedly "off." i could only think of a few things that do such a thing. what are some more?

lcd tv - maybe all tv's but i dont know
cable/satellite box
computer
appliances - but the fridge has to be on for obvious reasons

i think my toaster does, b/c there is a red light on the knob that is on when not in use
