UnPlugged is an application to notify when the power cord of the Mac is unplugged or plugged in. Notifications are done using Growl, or with a Alertwindow, when Growl is not installed.

I love watching these what I call quackumentaries.
Looks to me like the “Free Hidden Information Videos” are somewhat suspicious. If anything, it might have some entertainment value, but nothing else. For example, I picked one and started listening to “Iraq Veteran Speaks on War Crimes (22m)”. There an individual by the name of Jessie Macbeth is talking about war atrocities that are done on a regular basis. Humm… I wonder what Google has to say about this guy. Hey! First hit, a Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Macbeth). It turns out that this guy never made it to Iraq in the first place. Please, let’s not insult the real documentaries out there and call this piece a documentary.
Bottom line, if you want it badly enough, you will be able to find conspiracy theories everywhere.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like what the Yanks are doing in Iraq. This is just not the way to deal with it as it gives fuel to the extremist Islamics out there.
Hear hear!
I too have a method of determining whether my MacBook is plugged in or not. It’s called looking. With my eyes.
Of course, I’m guessing you’d be using this to determine if the MacBook is disconnected while you are out of the house, but then my joke doesn’t work. Curses!
