Razer Switchblade UI does not extend/duplicate screens, however, I believe this is closer to what the OP is looking for

Basically I have been disgusted with keyboards for years. The ergonomic keyboards are almost all junk unless to get top end. How the hell do you call a keyboard ergonomic when the keys are still slanted like a standard keyboard that was designed of the original typewritters that needed to pass levers to actuate the keys. Also, why are almost all the wireless keyboards without a touch pad. I want a touchpad with a wireless keyboard.

I see a lot of people get excited about extreme concurrency in modern hardware bringing us closer to the magical holy grail of raytracing. It seems that everyone thinks that once we have raytracing, we can fully simulate entire digital worlds, everything will be photorealistic, and graphics will become a "solved problem". This simply isn't true, and in fact highlights several fundamental misconceptions about the problems faced by modern games and other interactive media. The Matrix doesn't have you... yet.

Google today announced a huge change for Google Apps, including its Business, Education, and Government editions. As of October 1, users will no longer have the ability to download documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in old Microsoft Office formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt). Assuming the Google Docs included Google Apps will be following in the footsteps of the Google Docs available to consumers, this means that the search giant will still support exporting into these Microsoft formats: Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.pptx). Of course non-Microsoft formats will continue to be supported: ODT and RTF for documents, ODS and CSV for spreadsheets, SVG/PNG/JPEG for presentations, as well as PDF, TXT, and HTML for all three. One small step for information workers, one giant step for open documents everywhere.

Of course, now the only versions of Office that do not support the new formats are almost 10 years old, so why support a format that is inherently hard to support, and being replaced by the xaml versions.

Since the dawn of the space age, more than 20 000 objects larger than a softball have accumulated in Earth’s orbit. About 1000 of those objects are spacecraft that carry active payloads, serving many valuable missions for mankind. But the rest could best be called junk, the by-product of thousands of launches and routine spacecraft deployments, nearly 200 explosions, and several collisions. And this junk poses a serious problem. Cosmic pinball.

Spectacular fail on an iPhone, spectrum.ieee redirects to m.spectrum.iee which redirects to ........ spectrum.ieee, maybe it's lots of redirects on one page rather than stupidity, but the iPhone goes bonkers either way! Pity, wanted to read it.

Randall Munroe began his career in physics working with robots at NASA's Langley Research Center. He is famous, however, for engineering a creation of different kind: the iconic web comic that is xkcd. Last week, Munroe won the web's wonder for approximately the thousandth time when he published comic #1110, "Click and Drag," a soaring, spanning, surprising work that encouraged users to explore a fanciful world through their computer screens. As Rev Dan Catt pointed out, if you printed the comic at 300dpi, the resulting image would be about 46 feet wide. Someone on the internet is being interviewed...

The goals of a programming system should be: 1. to support and encourage powerful ways of thinking, and 2. to enable programmers to see and understand the execution of their programs. A live-coding Processing environment addresses neither of these goals. JavaScript and Processing are poorly-designed languages that support weak ways of thinking, and ignore decades of learning about learning. And live coding, as a standalone feature, is worthless. How do we get people to understand programming? We change programming. We turn it into something that's understandable by people.

The ultimate goal is to take a passphrase, tokenize it into individual words, and find low-entropy words in increasingly-long contexts (0th order Markov model, 1st order, 2nd order), using completely local data sources. The front end is a straightforward Backbone.js GUI. Those models and views rely on querying for the existence of 1-grams, 2-grams, and 3-grams in pre-loaded data structures. The backend needs knowledge of roughly 10 million 2-grams and roughly 40 million 3-grams. Test it right in the browser.

It misses some obvious details though: "banana banana banana" is apparently high entropy - all good and green!

And there is a bug with that, as when you click the little colored square next to the entropy calculation, it says 'The word <> is not a common word.' no matter what nonsense you put in there.
It also thinks "∆⅍∑₥⅝₡№ὊὀὐἓᴠᴔפסϸФЫȹșȲ" is a low entropy phrase.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

We managed to finally get our hands on the finalized (or very near finalized) software development kit (SDK) for Windows Phone 8--the one where only select developers were given access too. The SDK had surfaced on the internet a few days ago via WinUnleaked and has been floating around ever since. After spending a few hours configuring our PC for the SDK (you need Windows 8 Pro RTM 64-bit, seriously), we fired up Windows Phone 8 OS... Take a tour of the next Windows Phone.

When I was a kid with a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), sometimes my games wouldn’t load. But I, like all kids, knew the secret: take out the game cartridge, blow on the contacts, and put it back in. And it seemed to work. (When it failed, I’d just keep trying until it worked.) But looking back, did blowing into the cartridge really help? I’ve talked to the experts, reviewed a study on this very topic, and have the answer. But first, let’s talk tech. The answer is no. Here's why.

Getting Web video off your PC and onto your plasma screen used to be a niche activity. No more: Consumer-tracking service NPD says TV sets are now the most popular way to watch streaming video. NPD says 45 percent of consumers report that TV is now their primary Web video screen, up from 33 percent last year. It basically swapped places with the PC... Cutting the cable TV cord.

In my home I watch infinitely more video on a PC than on a TV. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

better code often means less code. I don’t think about lines of code exactly, or something similarly stupid, but in terms of meaningful code. However, argument for less code isn’t about making code as compact as possible, avoid redundancy, etc. The argument is about not writing code at all whenever reasonable or possible. Should we focus on deciding what should and what should not built instead of polishing our software development craft then? How about writing just as much code as necessary?
