Do you know how difficult it is to download YouTube videos when you need to download it immediately?… It’s bloody irritating… There is a YouTube video I wanted to download today but unfortunately I don’t have any YouTube download tools installed on my notebook… I do have one before but I’ve uninstalled it long time ago… I can’t really remember why I uninstalled it, but it could be it was a trial version or it was full with advertisement or something like that…

What did I do then?… Well, I called my friend Google and asked him to search the best downloader for YouTube video. A couple of seconds later, he came back and presented me with a bunch of links. I glanced through and pick one… I downloaded and installed it… unfortunately every time I download the YouTube video using the tools, it cut off after 30% or so… You see, the YouTube video I want to download is 57 minutes long… I need to download this video coz it seems this video is being deleted from YouTube… when I searched for this 57 minutes video last month, I found about 3 of them… and there are many shorter version too. But today, I can’t find any of the 57 minutes… even the shorter versions are so few… There must be some conspiracy to delete this video… they don’t want the public to see it…

Then after sharing one of the shorter version with my friend this evening, I accidentally found the 57 minutes versions… that is why I want to download it before ‘they’ delete this one… Anyways, since the first downloader did not work well, I tried another… and this one is called The Best Video Downloader and it’s working fine so far… in fact it is downloading right now… and it’s already 80% completed… the 57 minutes video is about 240MB… and the video I’m trying to download is about the Elenin or Nibiru or Brown Dwarf… about the earth quake catastrophe going to occur on 26th September 2011… it said with magnitude 12 to 15 earth quake, the whole Pacific Rim will go… New Zealand will disappear… Japan will disappear… Indonesia will disappear… China will disappear… Korea will disappear… Russia will disappear… West Coast of America will disappear…

A friend was asking me the other day if there are possibilities to use multiple monitors on his notebook. I said sure… use a VGA splitter or Video splitter.

But that’s not what he wanted… he wants to display different section of the display on different monitor… duhh…

Well I told him that his notebook already has one VGA port to connect to a bigger monitor.

But no… he wants to use two external monitor… so the setup will be with 3 LCD displays… the notebook LCD screen and two external monitors…

emm… lucky, I’ve seen a device before which can do exactly what he wanted to do… the device is simply called as USB UXGA Adapter by the computer shops…

What exactly is USB 2.0 UXGA Adapter?

Well, it is an external video card or you can also call it as external display card… The adapter, a small electronic box which has an USB port and VGA or DVI or both ports.  To use the video cards adapter, you simply plug in the USB cable from the notebook to one end of the adapter. On the other end of the adapter, connect the monitor’s VGA or DVI cable.

If the adapter’s driver is properly installed, the operating system like Windows should be able to detect the adapter and use it as secondary monitor… or third monitor… the first is the notebook LCD monitor, second is the monitor connected to the VGA port on the notebook and the third is the monitor connected to the USB UXGA Adapter.

You can install up to 6 USB UXGA adapters at one time… provided you have 6 USB 2.0 ports available. And all 6 external monitors should be able to display UXGA resolution at 1600×1200… wow… :O
