Targus usb 3 video adapter

This thing is a Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Adapter and it gives your notebook or any other computer another display port. It simply needs one USB 3.0 port and has both DVI and HDMI to drive resolution up to 2048×1152 which is good display up to 24″. The Targus employs the DisplayLink DL-3900 chipset as it’s the only one in the DL-3xxx series to boast dual head output. Drivers are available for Windows and Mac. Thought it looks like the Mac drivers are only in the alpha stage.

I’ve never seen one of these in person so don’t blame me if you buy one and it turns out to be junk, ok? I just thought it was really cool and thought some of you guys with notebooks might dig it as well.

I’m just gonna rip this verbatim from the awesome WebAppers web site:

Face.com has just opened up their APIs so that you can integrate their face detection and recognition technology with your apps and services. Whether you’re looking to add tagging for photos, cool sci-fi experiences, or creative flavors to your apps, Face.com API here to help.

They offer services for detecting, recognizing, and tagging faces in any photo, through our REST API. Face.com’s services are offered for FREE with rate limits.
