Play Video on Multiple monitors




If you have a multiple monitor set up, and you use your computer to play watch movies or videos this little trick might come in handy.  Instead of buying multiple graphics cards or paying for expensive software, this can be done in one the best and most importantly free media players available.  The program used is VLC player.  If you haven't heard of it, it's a lightweight player that plays just about any file type you would have for it.  So if you don't have it, get it and continue reading.



Step 1: Open preferences in tools drop down menu, select "all" in the bottom left corner box

Toshiba's dual screen tablet looks impressive



This new dual screen tablet, looks pretty sick.  It takes a page from the now canned Microsoft Courier tablet.  The Libretto appears to be running Windows 7. Personally I love the design, you can use it as a book for ebooks, a traditional laptop, or one long tablet.  I also like the fact that you can fold a tablet designed like this to protect the screens and increase portability.  As the video states the price and release date have not been announced yet, but we will keep you posted.

iPhone 4 officially revealed!


The iPhone 4 has been officially revealed by Apple. Notable features are a new high resolution display, which is 960x640 on a 3.5 inch screen. This makes it the highest resolution on a phone ever. A 16% bigger battery which Apple claims will give you 40% more talk time. A better back camera with LED flash, as well as a new front camera too. Video calls with the new app Facetime, currently only over wifi however. And it sports the same processor that is in the iPad, which is much faster then the old iPhone processor. So basically what I'm trying to say is, Apple has created the best phone ever made.
