Mac: Two monitors to an iMac • USB multi-display adapter

The Dells and iMac with the 'champion' on the table


Coldplay • What If  ∆

Although the pre-Thunderbolt iMac 27" 2009 has an MDP port for a second monitor, the remaining USB ports may be channelled to add as many monitors as there are available USB ports via a bang-for-buck USB multi-display adapter. It's a dodgy brand but the nifty Mountain Lion compatible adapter uses a DisplayLink powered hardware and retails at RM155.00 at Sri Computers, Low Yat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

The DisplayLink driver in the enclosed disk is vintage but a URL is provided for the current version. Once installed, Displays in System Preferences shows up the USB monitor to calibrate, rotate, extend and/or mirror.

Understandably, being USB driven, HD movies on the newfound monitor are a tad jittery, but excellent for web browsing, mails, word processing and general reading, which in portrait mode, just adds to the experience.

The Dells that stand portrait to the iMac at home are the 27" S2740Ls. An MDP to HDMI wire connects the first monitor and a DVI to DVI projects the second. The adapter is a 'champion' and is applicable to all Macs from Leopard onwards.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

MING: 1999-2009

Preamble:- 8.48am February 21 st 2009 saw the demise of Ming, a confidante, companion, friend and a bundle of joy to Alex Peters, not to mention, Flo, Dian, Carol and those his life touched. Ming the entertainer de-stressed anyone who laid eyes on him and girls in particular just loved to cuddle the pocket dynamo. He did not have a 'business end' and given the pain he endured, he was still all 'fun'. He succumbed to cancer but not before thumbing his nose at kemo several years. His resilience was amazing. He hung on as long as he could. The video posted below is Alex’s labor of love for his dear Mingy. I sense dread in the impending storm. Mingy paused. “Would you face it alone! You see, I have no fear of ponies, none at all. I know them and they me” . You look bushed, your voice, tired. Your effort was more daunting than thought, wasn't it! That is because I am complex, born and bred. Just look at me and you thought I was a thoroughbred mutt?

Jew-baiting in the Malaysian Parliament

Developed by Intel Israel Dr. Salk at the University of Pittsburg's Virus Research Laboratory inoculating a young girl in 1955 I n 1955, Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine that helped prevent mankind from walking like primates, but it appears the vaccine of the good Jewish doctor did not prevent some in the Malaysian Parliament from talking like monkeys - pun intended. On the subject of Jewish science, while peering at the inoculation on their arm, they may want to gaze at their laptops and imagine those Intels Inside that were developed in Israel and ask themselves why all this science is still keeping them Jew-baiting in the realm of the anti-semite. Why do people hate Jews: Rabbi Ken Spiro Cheers, Tommy Image: Corbis-Bettmann
