1. An apparatus for power savings in a computing device communicating with a remote site over a network, the apparatus comprising:
- an interface module configured to receive a power saving command from a remote site on a network;
a determination module configured to determine whether the client is in a selected state whereby it can comply with the power savings command; and
a power saving module configured to execute a selected power saving scheme responsive to a determination that the client is in a selected state whereby it can comply with the power saving command.
