Hey everyone: QUICK TRIVIA QUESTION: Where are iPads and iPhones manufactured?…
Need we even tell you the answer? Aren't all of you quite obviously aware that these omnipresent, hi-tech gizmos are "Made in China?"
Brace yourself: In an interview on ABC This Week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) stated that iPads and iPhones are manufactured in the U.S.
Apparently, McCain was trying to make the point that the U.S. makes cool hi-tech goods and just needs free trade agreements to gain more overseas market access.
Unfortunately, the good Senator is wrong on several counts:
1. In addition to iPads and iPhones, China manufactures a tremendous amount of hi-tech equipment. Those products are NOT made in USA.
2. As the Congressionally mandated U.S.-China Commission points out on page 19 of its latest annual report: the U.S. trade deficit with China in advanced technology products soared to $72.5 billion in 2009.
3. The sad truth is that, where manufacturing goes, innovation follows. More and more valuable hi-tech products are no longer being made in the U.S.
Regarding the massive import of foreign-made goods into the U.S. market, McCain believes this is because "cheaper, lower-cost labor products will usually prevail over products made in higher wage and income countries." Inexplicably, this conflicts with McCain's belief that the iPad and other hi-tech goods are made in USA. It also ignores the fact that Germany, a high-wage nation, has become one of the world's most successful manufacturing and exporting nations. Germany has accomplished this by focusing on enhancing its industrial base.
Apparently Sen. McCain believes that mere "innovation" will fuel a U.S. recovery. The reality is less cheerful: Because the U.S. has no cohesive national strategy to address illegal, predatory trade from countries like China, Sen. McCain's goal to "restore our economy" via "exports" will continue to be a pipe dream.
What's needed is a firm plan to rebalance U.S. trade. When China, for example, blocks its market to U.S. products, and employs illegal currency manipulation to undercut U.S. manufacturers, the United States must take strong action. Otherwise, more key industries will continue to move overseas.

The MBA program prepares a student for a domestic and global career in diverse sectors of the industry. The MBA programme facilitates learning, in theory and practice, of different functional areas of management and equips the students with an integrated approach to various functions of management. However, the demand for managerial skills is not limited to the industry. Managerial talent is much sought by the Government Sector, NGOs, and Non-corporate sector as well. Institutes, Faculty and students need to move away from the excessive focus on industry and look at needs and demands of broader sections of the society. Likewise entrepreneurial perspective of job and wealth creation with a social context also needs to be integrated into various aspects of the programme.

Microsoft moots mobiles with interchangeable accessories
One for all
Microsoft's R&D department has drawn up plans for a slider phone with swappable accessories, a concept previously attempted elsewhere that failed to become a success commercially.
The handset in question looks like a regular slider phone, but features detachable parts such as a gaming keypads, second displays and extra batteries.
The plot thickens: these accessories can still be used when not attached to the phone, doubling up as additional control devices for the handset. This includes using the attachments as an extended headset, as a keyboard for use while the phone is connected to a TV set, and as a handsfree control kit for manipulating the handset in vehicles.
Others have tried - and generally failed - to bring similar concepts to market successfully. These include the LG Expo with attachable projector, NTT Docomo's separable phone and the Modu jacket phone.
Microsoft is hardly known for it mobile handset manufacturing and with other companies failing to make similar products a hit, the chances for this one are pretty unlikely for now. The company clearly sees the potential, though, hence the push for a patent. We won't hold our breath. ®

Competition: Commission action against cartels – Questions and answers
The most recent version of this MEMO is available at:
What is a cartel?
It is an illegal secret agreement concluded between competitors to fix prices, restrict supply and/or divide up markets. The agreement may take a wide variety of forms but often relates to sales prices or increases in such prices, restrictions on sales or production capacities, sharing out of product or geographic markets or customers, and collusion on the other commercial conditions for the sale of products or services.
Why are cartels harmful to consumers, businesses and to the economy in general?
Cartels shield participants from competition allowing them to charge higher prices and removing the pressure on them to improve the products they sell or find more efficient ways in which to produce them. It is the customers (companies and consumers) who foot the bill in terms of paying higher prices for lower quality and narrower choice. This not only makes consumers and businesses suffer but also adversely affects the competitiveness of the economy as a whole.
What legal basis underpins the Commission's action to combat cartels?
Article 81 of the Treaty establishing the European Community prohibits agreements and concerted practices between firms that distort competition within the Single Market. Fines of up to 10% of their worldwide turnover may be imposed on the guilty parties.
What happens to the proceeds from fines?
The amount of the fines is paid into the Community budget. The fines therefore help to finance the European Union and reduce the tax burden on individuals.
Does the Commission have the last word?
All cartel decisions by the Commission may be appealed against before the Court of First Instance (CFI) and then before the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg. They can, therefore, be closely scrutinised by these two courts, which are empowered to annul decisions in whole or in part and to reduce or increase fines, where this is deemed appropriate.
What is the European Commission's leniency programme?
It encourages firms to provide the Commission with insider information on cartels. The first firm to do so is granted total immunity from fines. Other firms that follow suit may be granted a reduction in the amount of the fine. This policy is very effective in uncovering cartels but does not prevent the Commission from conducting investigations on its own initiative. For further information, see IP/06/1705, MEMO/06/469 and MEMO/06/470. Companies wishing to approach the Commission in order to benefit from the Commission notice on immunity from fines and reduction of fines in cartel cases should consult:
What practical steps has the Commission taken to step up action against cartels?
Since June 2005 an entire Directorate composed of four units (Directorate F, with a staff of around 60) in the Competition Directorate General has been involved exclusively in helping the Commission to detect and punish cartels.
What action is open to consumers and companies who feel that they have been victims of such illegal agreements?
Any firm or individual adversely affected by practices censured by the Commission, such as those set out in today's decision, may bring the matter before a court in a Member State of the European Union with a view to seeking compensation for damage suffered as a result of such practices. Fines imposed by the Commission are different from the damages awarded by national courts. While action for damages before a court can also have a certain deterrent effect, its main purpose is to compensate victims of anti-competitive behaviour or to secure compensation for damage suffered. A Commission Green Paper on facilitating action for damages before courts in the Member States was published in December 2005.
What are the ten largest fines imposed by the Commission in cartel cases?
By company:

Fines imposed on cartels by the Commission since 2003:

NASA's 'PhoneSat' Program Points to Satellites of the Future
NASA launched a novel project in April, putting into orbit three satellites that employ an off-the-shelf commercial smartphone as the control system. The satellites hitched a ride on the maiden flight of Orbital Science Corp.'s Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia.
Each of the three "phonesats" was a 10-centimeter cube with a mass of about 1 kilogram. The trio operated in orbit for about a week, transmitting back down to Earth. The satellite orbits naturally decayed after about one week, as expected, and they re-entered Earth's atmosphere on April 27.
According to Chad Frost, chief of the Mission Design Division at NASA's Ames Research Center, the success of the mission was an important milestone. Building a spacecraft of any sort generally means using very expensive hardware and software, Frost said. But PhoneSat -- comparatively very inexpensive -- breaks the mold. According to Frost, this concept could be used to deploy groups of satellites to, for example, monitor space weather or conditions in various parts of the Earth. "We were very intrigued by the notion that you could build a very low-cost spacecraft based entirely on a smartphone and other consumer electronics devices," he said.
The PhoneSat project -- which won Popular Science's 2012 Best of What's New Award for innovation in aerospace -- proved exactly what Frost and his colleagues at NASA had hoped for: "That you can build a spacecraft for orders of magnitude less" than what it typically takes.
Frost said NASA is now seriously looking at several PhoneSat concepts that could include hundreds or even thousands of spacecraft working in conjunction to provide, for example, a space weather early warning system or other such networks for monitoring. Since the PhoneSat project utilizes the Android operating system, it opens up the possibility of apps being created by the global Android developer community being used in space, Frost said. He called the concept "wide open and wildly exciting."
Advances in electronics
The idea of basing a satellite on a smartphone wouldn't be possible without advances made in smartphones over the past few years, Frost noted. "We've driven consumer electronics to the point where they are just amazingly capable little devices and ridiculously affordable for what they can do," he said.
Frost has been at the forefront of aerospace technology for more than 25 years. He joined the Army/NASA joint rotorcraft division in 1997. In his years at NASA, both electronics and spacecraft technology have come a long way. "I'm part of the generation that first started to get their hands on the first computers," Frost said. He added that some of the earliest projects he worked on as an engineer still used analog control systems. The fundamental revolution, he said, beginning with Apollo, was the move to digital flight control.
The culmination of the digital revolution is "flying these smartphones and other systems that have amazing computational power, ridiculously low power consumer, and are insanely inexpensive," Frost said. "I see the revolution in electronics as being the thing that has most fundamentally transformed what we can do and what we will be able to do in the future," he said. "There are other things coming along that will be very exciting and powerful, but I don't know that they will dominate the landscape the way microelectronics can."

Canine allergic dermatitis: Pathogenesis, clinical signs, and diagnosis
Jun 01, 2006
In the simplest terms, allergic dermatitis refers to any inflammatory skin disease caused by any type of allergy. The unifying characteristic of these diseases is that they cause pruritus and subsequent inflammation. Depending on the etiology, the event may be short-lived or become a lifelong condition. Table 1 lists the reported allergic diseases of small animals.1,2 These diseases are rarely uncomplicated and often involve secondary infections. Furthermore, more than one core allergic disease is often present concurrently. These factors can make diagnosis and management of allergic dermatitis cases challenging.
Hypersensitivity disorders that can cause allergic dermatitisThe clinical signs of all allergic hypersensitivity reactions are similar: pruritus, erythema, hair loss, papules, and, with time, hyperpigmentation and lichenification. Differentiation between the reactions is based on a thorough history, the pattern of clinical signs, and, more often than not, a careful evaluation of likely causes through response to therapy trials.
Urticaria and angioedema. Urticaria and angioedema are classic type 1 hypersensitivity disorders. Clinical signs tend to be acute in onset and include pruritic wheals or large areas of edematous swellings; clients commonly refer to these lesions as hives. Urticarial lesions can be localized or generalized; angioedema tends to be localized to the head. Respiratory distress can occur if the angioedema involves the nares, larynx, or pharynx. Although the cause of urticaria and angioedema is often undiagnosed, triggers may include drugs, vaccines, bacterins, foods, and insect bites or stings. Bacterial folliculitis is frequently misdiagnosed as chronic hives.
Food hypersensitivity. Food hypersensitivity is an adverse reaction to a food or an additive. It occurs in dogs and cats of any age, but in my experience uncomplicated food allergies are most common in pediatric patients and cats. The pruritus is nonseasonal, and it may or may not respond to corticosteroid therapy. The pattern of pruritus and inflammation can be regional or generalized. Secondary bacterial and Malassezia dermatitis and otitis are common. Some animals have concurrent gastrointestinal signs, such as frequent bowel movements, vomiting, diarrhea, or flatulence.
Food hypersensitivity is less common than atopic dermatitis in dogs and cats; however, its true prevalence is unknown because food allergy must be—and rarely is—confirmed by provocative challenge. The increased availability and palatability of novel protein diets make food trials easier to perform because they are more client- and patient-friendly. These diets simplify the diagnostic process in patients with concurrent atopy and food allergy.
Contact hypersensitivity. Allergic contact dermatitis is a rare cause of pruritus in dogs and cats; few well-documented cases exist in the veterinary literature. Clinical signs typically occur in the area where the offending allergen contacts the skin. One of the reasons contact allergies are so rare in small animals is the protective nature of the haircoat. Contact allergies are most likely to occur in thinly haired areas of the body (e.g., ears, perineum, inguina) or in association with topical medication application. Diagnosis can be difficult and is usually made by withdrawing the suspected offending allergen followed by a provocative challenge.3
Flea bite hypersensitivity. Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common allergic skin disease of dogs and cats. Clinical signs can be seasonal or year-round, depending on where the animal lives. In dogs, the classic presentation is a pruritic, papular, crusted eruption over the dorsal lumbosacral area and caudal aspect of the hindlimbs. Alopecia, secondary seborrhea, hyperpigmentation, and lichenification occur in chronic cases. In cats, lesions can occur anywhere, but the typical presentation is miliary dermatitis with secondary excoriations over the neck, dorsal lumbosacral area, caudomedial thighs, and ventral abdominal area.

The theme I gave everyone was Searching for (or discovering!) a secret.
Here's mine, 'Relic'
|Can you find my letter??
Part of the project was challenging everyone to use informal subdivision to help come up with sketches. I felt that the working method itself is appropriately secrets-themed--you're looking at a bunch of lines and trying to figure out an image hidden within them.
Here's my informal subdivision lines and the sketch I settled on:
I actually had a million other sketches, but lost the file with all of them in it. D'oh!
I thought that something sci-fi themed would be fun to draw--I've been reading a lot of cyberpunk recently (Snowcrash, The Diamond Age, Neuromancer) and visions of dirty dystopian futures have been floating around in my mind.
I ended up moving the whole image down a bit for better compositional value, which means my final image doesn't line up with my informal subdivision quite as well. However, I think the main value of informal subdivision is to suggest composition and generate ideas. If you decide to work with informal subdivision and think that something doesn't look right, change it!
Thanks again to all my participants for their fantastic work! You guys did great.

In a fast paced environment where business resilience is dependent on IT agility more than ever before, metrics and measurement focus is a must for meeting changing needs. To articulate accountability and identify specific value gains from IT solutions, an organization requires an IT metrics program to validate and review the outcome of services provided by IT or vendors. Generally, however, metrics programs fail to add value in driving continual service improvement and providing an actual reflection of customer experiences.
Aswin Kumar, a principal consultant with the ITSM Transformation Services practice at Infosys Limited, and Rahul Sinha, a senior consultant with Infrastructure Transformation Services practice at Infosys Ltd would like to share some industry experiences gained through various end-to-end engagements around IT service management and operations, software product development and IT governance practices. These experiences are summarized in terms of 10 "silver bullets" or solutions designed to provide best practices to the organization facilitating a successful metrics program. These "silver bullets" are aimed at transforming the metrics programs of organizations and creating a positive impact on the IT services delivery.

Story highlights
- Wellington International Airport unveils sculpture of "great eagles" from "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"
- Air New Zealand unveils its own ode to the film -- a new livery featuring the dragon Smaug
- All three films in the "Hobbit" trilogy were shot in New Zealand
"Hobbit" mania is in full swing in New Zealand this week, where all three of the Peter Jackson-directed movies based on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien were filmed.
Wellington International Airport has unveiled a new installation featuring two realistic "great eagles" from the "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," the second in the trilogy. The film's world premier will take place on December 2 in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is showing off a new livery featuring the title character on one of its planes.
The airport's new sculptures were created by Wellington's Weta Workshop -- the same team that built props and designed physical effects for "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogies.
Each eagle weighs approximately one ton, with a wingspan of 15 feet.
The wizard Gandalf is depicted riding on one of the eagles.
"We were thrilled to return and create another installation for Wellington Airport," said Weta's Richard Taylor, who oversaw the project.
"What could be more suitable for an airport in Middle Earth than Gandalf the Grey atop a great eagle swooping into the terminal, such an evocative image from 'The Hobbit' and a fantastic and challenging project for our artists to design and build."
The giant eagles appeared at the end of the previous Hobbit movie, "An Unexpected Journey," and twice in "The Lord of the Rings."
They act as aids to Gandalf and his companions, rescuing them from the bleakest of circumstances.
That they're now being displayed in celebration of the upcoming film, "The Desolation of Smaug," suggests that the eagles will yet play other parts in "The Hobbit" trilogy.
The sculpture joins an existing installation featuring Gollum fishing for trout, which is suspended above the airport's food court.
It's become a tourist attraction, with visitors driving to the airport just to take photos beneath it.
Air New Zealand's new Hobbit livery
Over the weekend, Air New Zealand -- also working with Weta -- unveiled a new livery on one of the airline's Boeing 777-300s.
The livery features the dragon known as Smaug stretched out along the plane.
This is the first time the full design of the highly anticipated character has been released to the public.
"To see Smaug fly off the big screen and into the skies like this is pretty exciting," said director Peter Jackson in a statement. "We're proud to debut him here in New Zealand, where our team has worked so hard to bring him to life."
Air New Zealand also recently released a new Hobbit-themed commercial starring Dean O'Gorman (Fili the dwarf) and the voice of Sylvester McCoy (the wizard Radagast), continuing its history of using the films to promote New Zealand.
Last year, for the world premier of the first Hobbit film, Air New Zealand teamed up with Weta to design a Hobbit-themed livery for one of its Boeing 777-300 aircraft, which it used to transport the actors back to New Zealand and then buzz the crowds along the red carpet later with a flyby.
Since the first film debuted, Air New Zealand has offered Hobbit-themed flights and put out a popular Hobbit flight-safety video using cast members and other actors in costumes.
The airline is currently screening the extended edition of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" on all international flights.
Capitalizing on the films' fame
Weta has long been the public face of New Zealand's movie capital, Wellington.
While its main workshop isn't open to the public, an adjoining Weta Cave in the suburb of Miramar is open for visitors, offering a mini-museum and behind the scenes documentary screening, as well as movie prop reproductions for purchase.
The "Window Into Workshop" is a separate tour that allows visitors to watch Weta artists work on art pieces, view more of the actual props used in "Lord of the Rings" and other films and learn about the process of creating props for the film industry.
Hobbit madness doesn't stop there.
Last year the city of Wellington was redecorated and temporarily renamed The Middle of Middle Earth, hosting a red-carpet event for the world premiere of "The Hobbit" that ran through the city.
While it won't host the world premiere this year, there are still several parties and advance screenings planned around town.

Ever since I saw Julie and Julia I wanted to try deboning a chicken. Today, four years later, I got around to actually doing it. Maybe it was the lack of sleep over the past few days (we got back from Guatemala at 4:00 Monday morning), maybe it was the rain that prohibited all outside activity, maybe it was that all the meat in Guatemala has turned me into some sort of meat connoisseur (not likely). Well, whatever the reason, I finally deboned a chicken and the world is now a better place for it.
Like Julie in the movie, I was instructed by video how to correctly remove the carcass, leg, and wing bones from poultry. Unlike Julie, my instructor was not Julia Child, but Jaques Pepin via youtube, a man who can purportedly debone a chicken in a minute flat and also has a pretty great accent. Let's just say it took me a little longer than a minute, in fact, more like sixty minutes. And my chicken was certainly nowhere close to the beauty that Pepin's was. At the beginning he warned against using one's knife too much and I sort of got carried away, plus, we definitely do not sharpen our knives enough here so there was a lot of hacking. Oh, and it turned out that we apparently had nothing remotely close to kitchen twine, so I used dental floss to truss my chicken. I've gotta say, if you're in a pinch, it actually works quite well!
After those gory sixty minutes during which I wrapped my laptop in saran wrap to keep from poisoning everyone with salmonella, I washed my hands some five or six times and doused the counter with Clorox bleach. Though I had gotten the most natural option for chicken at the store, reading Kingsolver's Animal Vegetable Miracle right now made me skeptical of anything short of what I kill myself or purchase from Joe the farmer down the road.
Really though, I wish we had a farm close by, not just for chicken but for fruits and vegetables. Being in a new house this year means not having our garden plot out back like we've had in the past. Sure, we've got some nice fresh herbs, but no tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, ect. like in the past. I guess this just means I'll be visiting my grandparents' farm and the market downtown a little more often to get my share of summer's bounty.
But despite not having chicken from just down the road, this was a pretty amazing dish. I'm not a meat person, but I am apparently a chicken galantine person. It hardly qualifies to be placed in a category that houses bloody slabs of steak. It was improved by the stuffing that I used, inspired by the stuffing and rice dishes in the Jerusalem cookbook, whose cauliflower, pomegranate, and hazelnut salad I raved about some six months or so ago.
I suppose that's all. Get going on this! It left me feeling very satisfied and as if I'd expanded my horizons. I mean, who these days does really elaborate meat preparation at home? Certainly not me normally. Also, try out different stuffings. I really liked the one I came up with below but there are tons of other options, so get creative!
Here's the video from Pepin, and my recipe for stuffing:
Basmati Rice Stuffing with Tomatoes, Raisins and Herbs
Enough for one 4.5 pound, deboned chicken
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
Red pepper flakes to taste
2 cups cooked basmati rice (I used rice that had sat in the fridge overnight so that it was nice and dry and wouldn't stick together)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup raisins, plumped in warm water
1 tomato, diced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
Saute the onion in olive oil on medium heat until just starting to brown, then add spices, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook until aromatic. Stir in rice and heat through. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper as needed. Mix in the egg. It really just acts as a binder and doesn't significantly alter the flavor. Follow the video's instructions for stuffing the chicken after deboning.
I baked my 4.5 pound chicken with just salt, pepper and lots of olive oil, both under the chicken and rubbed into the top and sides. It took about an hour at 350 degrees, but you should just test the temperature of the chicken to see when yours is done. Once you take it out of the oven, allow it to sit for a while to cool off a bit so that it will be easier to cut cleanly.

Hi guys, new here. I recently purchased a used HP Pavilion G4 from a friend and tried to plug it into the TV using e HDMI port.

HI All
I have moved to Windows 7 from Vista, finally
Computer - HP 8710w, Intel Centrino vPro, Nvidia Quadro
I connected my HDMI cable to TV Hdmi port and PC Hdmi port but no signal on TV at all. With Vista it was plug and play (just needed to adjust audio settings on PC).
I have tried downloading updated drivers but to no avail. While connected pressing the Fn key and F4 hey does nothing, the computer has no idea that something is in that port. I think the port is somehow inactive or physically damaged.
How may i check to see if the port is working and how do i check if its software related?
Many thanks
Are you running more then one monitor at a time? If you are then you need to right click on your desktop and select "Screen Resolution". Then find the TV on the display device drop-down menu. Then check the box "Make this my Main Display".
Let me know if that works, if not I can help troubleshoot the problem some more.

Hi all,
I've just recently got myself a new laptop (specs at bottom of message) and took it around a friends house and plugged it into their HD TV via HDMI - all worked well, the laptop recognised the TV straight away, optimized the display and away we went.
A few days go by and I decided to upgrade my own TV from an SD to an HD TV (Bush BLED24FHDL8) yeah I know cheap as chips, but it's going alright so far ... well except this problem pmsl.
Within 5 mins of setting up the TV channels I decided to plug my HDMI cable into the laptop and then into HDMI 1 slot on the back of the TV, I changed the input of the TV to HDMI 1 and.... nothing.
Going into the display settings of my laptop didn't show a 2nd display, so I changed various settings trying to get it to recognise the tv, but nothing, still no signal showing on the TV, and nothing showing on the laptop.
So I changed over the cable to the HDMI 2 slot on the TV etc and still nothing on the laptop, I fiddled with the settings again and still couldn't get the laptop to recognise there was a 2nd display, nor get any signal on the TV.
As a last resort I unplugged the HDMI cable and tried the VGA cable I have - and this decided to work, although no sound as I didn't have those cables plugged in.
When I plugged the VGA cable in, the TV and laptop recognised each other straight away and I didn't have to do another thing.
But I've still got this HDMI problem --- I've even gone out this a... Read more

Will not display on any monitor. Tried multiple different monitors. Updated all the drivers, from Intel, NVIDIA, and HP. Nothing works. Funny thing is that NVIDIA recognizes the monitor, name, make, and resolution. But no where can I find NIVIDIA recognizing the built in display on this computer. Intel recognizes the built in monitor, but doesnt see the external monitor.In the NIVIDIA contorl panel under system topology it details the HDMI port, its connected. So I got my IT people involved. They couldnt figure it out either. They tried everything. They believe that since NVIDIA sees the external monitor, but "Multiple Display Cloning" is "Disabled" (Unable to enable it) that NVIDIA doesnt recognize the built in display, it thinks the built in display is the monitor. When the external monitor HDMI is unplugged, the NVIDIA control panel clears out as if no monitor exists at all. This is a brand new HP zBook that I have had for a couple months. Been fighting this issue ever since. Desperate to get my monitor working I recently went and purchased a VGA to DVI converter and DVI to HDMI converter. That doesnt work either. I feel defeated, crushed by an HDMI port.Read other answers

I recently purchase 2 identical M720q tiny desktops. Both of them can't output from their HDMI ports. One of them is still running the original factory install and so it isn't missing any drivers or anything. They both output from their DisplayPorts without a problem. But nothing connected to the HDMI port gets recognized at all. I have tried both computers with the same cable and monitor. They are both behaving the same way. It is as if they aren't connected to anything at all. To be sure that the cable isn't bad, I plugged it into my laptop and my laptop displays to this monitor just fine. I ran Lenovo Vantage and also Windows update. That didn't help. I also checked the BIOS as one post suggested and changed it to IGP instead of Auto, but the BIOS does no show an option for multi-monitor.Read other answers

I have a Dell Inspiron 720 with an HDMI port in the back. I have been using it with my Samsung TV to watch movies on. Now it no longer works. I ordered a new cable but it keeps telling me to check power supply, cable connection, and the make sure it's on the right setting. I have 2 hdmi ports on the back of my TV but still come up with the same error condition when I switch them. It appears the port in the computer is not working anymore. I have tried everything but nothing works. I am running an ATI 4200 which is on the motherboard. Can this be fixed or would I have to buy a new graphics card to get it working again. I did swap the cables but still get the same results. Does anyone have any ideas because I have run out of them???
The only way to fix it is to buy a new motherboard, do yourself a favor and buy a new video card instead, Dells are not worth fixing. But if it`s under warranty well then that is a different story.
If that`s a laptop then your ONLY option is to replace the motherboard, very simple to do.

Hi Gang,
I brought this GT-610 Galaxy video card with 1gb ram on Ebay a few months ago. It was brand new. It worked fine until one day I had to unplug the HDMI cord that lead to the TV (using clone view). After I did this and plugged it back in there was no more picture on the TV. It had been working fine. The cord shows up as being listed on the TV as HDMI 2 but when I look for it on the PC I see nothing. I used to see LG TV. Not it is no longer listed.
I have tried rebooting, turning PC off, updating drivers, reinstalling the drivers and taking the card out and and putting it back in. Nothing works. What do I do?

Hello everyone,I recently noticed that the HDMI port in my Thinkpad S440 is not working. When you plug a monitor, nothig happens in the laptop. However, if I use the HDMI port on the Onelink Dock, it works perfectly.I don't know if it is related, but I noticed this bug after updating the OS from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Anniversary Update. At the same time of this update I upgraded the 16GB SSD to a 256GB SSD and installed the OS there instead of in the HDD. The error might have been occuring since before the update, but as I usually use the Onelink HDMI port, I didn't notice it until after the update.Any ideas on what can be going on? Thanks.Read other answers
Is there a driver for the HDMI port for the Satellite R830?
It no longer connects to a TV.
I have tried different TV's but still nothing.
Also there is no HDMI under the device manager under the control panel, should there be?
Many thanks for any help or advice.
I don?t know what Windows system you use on this notebook but the HDMI driver isn?t available since the HDMI port driver is part of the system and should be recognized automatically.
For HDMI sound capability you should install the right sound driver and should enable this in control panel -> sound -> playback device
In order the HDMI (digital out) would not be listed there, right click and choose:
show disabled devices, show hidden devices.
Usually the HDMI connection isn?t very tricky. Everything should run automatically.
Connect both devices using HDMI cable.
Power up the TV, then computer.
Now use the function key (FN key) video output combination in order to switch to video out (HDMI).
Note: the right HDMI channel should be chosen on your TV
That?s all
HDMI port stopped working about a year ago. It had always worked on Windows 7 64-bit. Also it worked on Windows 10 64-bit for quite some time. I have HP Compaq PC with 3 TB HD with 2 new flat screen monitors each able to run as VGA or the
other way. Had both monitors working fine. Tried switching monitors, and everything else. Plugged in, etc....,
I would like to simply download the correct drivers for the HDMI port, at leas for the monitor and graphics, install correctly, anin compatibility mode, I assume, and all I ask is that you please not lie to me and say I have to buy something. I'd appreciate
your expert help. Everything works...need to install correct drivers in compatibility mode. The correct ones. In the correct places and know what to do if there is no "HD video, audio, and game controller" section, for example,
or "Graphics" section in device manager.
Thanx, Miguel
PS, my login email is not my correct email, but not allowable to change, so I cannot.
Couldn't find any similar problems online.
I am trying to connect my Desktop computer to the TV in the next room by a 5 meter HDMI cable, I got no picture.
The same 5 meter HDMI cable (no name brand, not sure if relevant), works on a old laptop when connected to TV, so I assume the cable is working (didn't touch any settings).
Then I connected an 0.5 Meter HDMI cable between the Desktop and TV, and it is working perfectly too (again, didn't touch anything setting), so I assume the Desktop HDMI port is working as well.
Any ideas on why the 5 meter cable fail, where as the shorter one does work? Is it possible that the Desktop video-card is not sending a strong enough signal for the 5 meter cable? I am thinking of getting a new Desktop, will a newer/stronger video-card solve this issue?
Sorry that I am a bit vague on the question.
Thanks, V

I have a T470 (Win10) connected directly to a ViewSonic VG2030wm via HDMI - no docking station. The cable is known to be good, as I used it with the same monitor with a T460 without the following problem: Intermittently and sporadically the screen goes blank. It does not matter what order I turn on the devices or connect the cables. Randomly the screen will go black - sometimes the image comes back within a few seconds; sometimes the image blinks on and off for up to a minute; sometimes the image is steady and the monitor is usable for an hour or two; sometimes the image stays off for so long (about 30 seconds) that I get a "No Signal Detected" message from the monitor, only to have the image return (sometimes within seconds, sometimes within minutes, sometimes within hours). ViewSonic does not offer any updates to the driver. All other drivers on the laptop are up to date. It does not have anything to do with what I'm doing, such as a loose connection. I use an external keyboard, and the laptop itself is on a box that improves airflow, so the only vibration to the laptop is what little is communicated thru the desk, and somewhat insulated box the box. Nothing I do can 'encourage' the image to reappear on the laptop, such as disconnecting/reconnecting the cable, turning the monitor on/off, etc. Any questions/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Additional: I've removed the battery and pressed the power button for 30 seconds, then restarted the laptop w/out any change in behavior.Read other 1 answers
Just unboxed my computer from CyberpowerPC, GTX 720 graphics card, installed/updated all drivers with drivereasy (paid for just now) and I am still having the issue with HDMI port not working. I have tried to plug into a monitor and a TV, neither are working, I have also tried to use multiple HDMI cables, still does not work. My monitor has an auto-switch source availability and turned on, when I plug my computer into the monitor with HDMI it continually cycles, finds no signal and goes into sleep mode. Then rinse/repeats until I either turn off the computer, monitor or just unplug the monitor from the computer. Currently I am using a DVI(computer) to HDMI (tv) and its working fine. So I know its the port on the computer. Do I need to contact CyberpowerPC to send the computer back to get this issue resolved? Thank you for the help.
Does the PC also have an integrated graphics processor (IGP) on the motherboard and the GTX 720 graphics card is an upgrade? If so, there might be a bios setting that will disable the IGP and use the graphics card instead.
Also, right click on the start icon, then click on device manager. Click on display adapters. Is the GTX 720 listed as the display adapter?
Please hope you can help! About a week ago the external monitor (connected through HDMI) stopped getting signal, when reinstalling the driver it started working again. Now it happened again, and I tried reinstalling again, but nothing. I have tried the cable/monitor and they work fine, its the computer/hdmi-port. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem... The Intel Driver Update Utility doesn't help either, neither does Lenovo Solution Center. What to do, I'm desperate! Help is tremendously appreciated!! /FredrikRead other answers

I have tried to use my HDMI port to connect my laptop to various monitors and TV's. They do not even reconize that they are connected. I have used the same monitors and TV's to connect other laptops that I have so i know that they work fine.

A "Contamination Prevention Alert" has been distributed to Joint Cotton Industry Bale Packaging Committee (JCIBPC) members/advisors and to cotton interest organizations – with the aim of urging producers, ginners, warehousers and their employees to pay particular attention to contamination prevention this harvest season.
JCIBPC Chairman Stan Creelman noted in his alert memo that the first goal of JCIBPC policy is to eliminate contamination by investigating and identifying contamination sources; and developing and implementing technical and educational solutions.
The Tulare, Calif., ginner said, "Let me encourage ginners, producers, warehousers and their respective cotton interest organizations to be more proactive when the subject of foreign material in U.S. cotton lint is discussed and to continually strive to keep foreign material in lint close to zero."
The alert was sent after it was learned that the most recent International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) survey of worldwide cotton contamination found there was a slight increase in contamination for most of the world's cotton growths when the survey years of 2011 and 2009 were compared.
Anecdotal evidence from U.S. spinning mills and nonwoven cotton products producers tends to confirm the ITMF survey results. Further, some U.S. spinners have stated they were experiencing more contamination issues with the 2011 cotton crop than with the 2010 crop.
Available on the NCC website's Quality Preservation page, www.cotton.org/tech/quality/index.cfm, the alert emphasizes that even though U.S. cotton still is considered as one of the least contaminated cotton growths, the U.S. cotton industry must be diligent if it wants to maintain that status.
That page also contains links to other useful resources aimed at helping industry members aggressively identify and eliminate potential contaminants from seed cotton and lint.
Questions or comments regarding the alert can be directed to Dale Thompson, the NCC's manager, marketing & processing technology (901) 274-9030 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Are the Storm back? They walloped a horrendous Panthers team (who lost to the Raiders at home).
They were then losing 10-0 against the titans at home.......Titans then lost Harrison and Baley for pretty much 3/4 of the game.....and the titans still had a chance .......
I will be be going hard on the Broncos this week. They showed big improvement last week and were a bit unlucky with ref decisions and the bounce of the ball.
Big crowd, desperate..Wallace cant play worse....They will cover the 4.
watch how many people wil be on the tigers this week, including the referees......
Roosters and Raiders will be a high scorer....Souths will eat the Sharks.....with GI back
Here is the shock....i wouldnt be surprised one bit if the Panthers beat the Warriors.....wouldnt be surprised at all....They were unlucky against the Raiders.
GC Parra, over
Manly will throttle the Knights, packed house at brooky, Matai and King back...chance to cement the top 4
Cows will beat saints
NRL NEED Brisbane in the post season - BAAAAAAAAAADDDDDLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY
They will win the penalty count,......
Originally Posted by davopnz: The storm that came out in the 2nd half against the titans was the true storm, they looked epic in the first ten minutes and had several tries disallowed/didn't quite finish them off.

Also don't forget Justin O'neill played on one league the whole game....I will back the storm with confidence. Hopefully Slater gets rid of that knee strap this week.Dogs with dogzilla back will roll those frauds, the tigers.
Titans were missing arguably there 2 best players, certainly there best 2 defenders for 3/4 of the match......
Originally Posted by Lawrence8888: Para def a play.. they are on a roll, should have been 3 straight wins if it wasn't the refs in tiger match
If Anthony Minichello wasnt too busy organising his fixes, the Roosters win that game...,.
I am not saying Brisbane win 100%..
Rather, there is tremendous value, Broncos at home on there comfy night (Friday night), should be almost a full house, playing for there season i would think, NRL needs the broncs in the finals, they shoud get a leg up and they showed good signs against a dogs team.....
Just very good value, thats all

WeAre Finally Settled In
We finally got everytrhing moved. It took us an entire week because of relocating to another city. The drive back and forth was horrid. I hated my first week here. I was not used to having neighbors and people around all the time. The kids have adjusted well and have made a lot of friends so there are people knocking on the door after school all the time wanting the kids. That took me awhile to get used to. I think I will be ok though. I just make myself expect people to be around that way I am not surprised when they do come. I don't go outside unless I have to. I have to take the dog out during the day but when my husband gets home he does it for me. It's supposed to be nice this weekend and I am going to try and go out if my husband will go out with me. I seem to do a lot better when he is by my side.

I'm an avid reader and writer, so I frequently fall into a trap that scholar and "Black Swan" author Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls "the narrative fallacy, or how we fool ourselves with stories and anecdotes."
In short, we string together factoids and events to weave a clever story that seems to be true and certain, when, in fact, it's just a lot of noise.
It's important to acknowledge this risky way of thinking in all areas of life, but particularly when it comes to investing.
As money manager and Bloomberg columnist Barry Ritholtz put it recently: "The human love of narrative is a dangerous cognitive failing that constantly leads investors astray."
Investors tell themselves stories all the time, about why a certain product is a sure thing or about why a certain CEO is an innovator bound to succeed. But while sentiment like hope and optimism certainly can move stocks in the short-term, all stocks inevitably trade based on the underlying profits of its business and the value it creates for shareholders.
The story is nice, but the raw numbers matter much more in the long run.
Many investors, however, can't help but be taken in by the stories financial media have woven lately about some of the "next big things" that are out there. They pooh-pooh things like revenue and profits, betting instead on the narrative that's spun about disrupting the competition or creating a whole new market segment.
That kind of thinking often ends badly. And to prove it, here are three "next big things" that haven't lived up to the hype so far in 2014.
Marijuana stocks
For those dreaming about a legalized nation, much of the hype about marijuana stocks in 2014 is just a bunch of stems and seeds.
Sure, public opinion polls have shifted sharply in favor of legalizing marijuana use. And, yes, Colorado and Washington have legalized pot, and many other states are pushing for some form of decriminalization.
But just because the business of marijuana is now moving into the mainstream, that doesn't mean that these businesses will succeed — or that any that do will be good investments.
Consider the fact that many banks are reluctant to provide financing and support to marijuana businesses because of the risks and stigma of the industry.
Of course, that hasn't stopped investors from piling into unprofitable micro-cap marijuana stocks with almost zero revenue.
To add insult to injury, these picks are easily manipulated, thanks to their low volume and stock prices of only a few pennies per share.
I won't name names because I refuse to give any of these risky marijuana penny stocks any more ink than they have already gotten in the financial media as of late.
But the fact that some of these stocks are down as much as 60% since their February highs shows just how quickly this "next big thing" is burning out.
Time will tell whether there can be a viable marijuana industry in the U.S. But it is highly unlikely that micro-cap penny stocks languishing on the pink sheets are going to be the companies that emerge as the market leaders in the years to come.
Fuel-cell stocks
In 2013, electric-vehicle manufacturer Tesla TSLA, -0.22% lit the world on fire. The stock more than quadrupled on the year as the company posted its first quarterly profit, repaid its government loan nine years ahead of schedule and enjoyed great reviews and a big backlog for its Model S sedan.
After the stock took off, however, investors quickly began looking for "the next Tesla."
What they latched onto were fuel-cell stocks.
It made sense: Just like hybrids went mainstream and now plug-in EVs are going mainstream now, hydrogen fuel cells should be the natural next step for the auto industry.
Stocks in this segment took off to start the year, with Plug Power PLUG, +4.39% soaring over 1,000% from December 2013 to March 2014, and Ballard Power Systems BLDP, +0.80% gaining over 500% in the same period.
The problem? Well, both Ballard and Plug Power are still bleeding cash big-time and, unlike Tesla, have no clear demand or growth for their product lines … just a nice narrative to keep selling to investors.
After the 11-fold increase for PLUG, Citron Research released a note calling the small-cap a "casino stock" with "a history of broken promises and a failure to deliver." Shares have halved from their 52-week high earlier in the year as a result, and other fuel-cell players like Ballard are down too.

Early detection of mental illness and proper treatment could mean the difference between crisis and effective management of the disease, a panel of experts said last week.
Early detection of mental illness and proper treatment could mean the difference between crisis and effective management of the disease, a panel of experts said last week.
Karen Twinem, spokeswoman for National Church Residences, told an audience June 19 at the Columbus Metropolitan Club that families often experience an unfortunate slog through the system.
Getting an accurate diagnosis is difficult, followed by the challenge of finding help.
Those fortunate in locating a case manager have the additional burden of keeping a loved one on medication.
"It takes hope, but it takes a lot longer than you think it will," said Twinem, whose two adult children have mental disorders.
Moderating the discussion, Columbus health commissioner Dr. Teresa Long said 57.7 million Americans -- or one in four -- have some sort of disorder, from mild to severe.
"Young or poor, rich or old, no one is immune," she said.
Those who have more serious conditions, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, cost the country $200 billion in lost earnings.
Meanwhile, they are unfairly stigmatized, often as violent, Long said.
"People still suffer, sadly, in silence," she said.
Adding to the problem is the thinning ranks of physicians, particularly in the field of psychiatry, Twinem said. Nearly 55 percent of psychiatrists are age 55 and older, she said.
"The shortage is real," she said.
Tracy Plouck, director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health, said she was a strong advocate of Gov. John Kasich's desire to expand state Medicaid, a hotly contested proviso in the proposed state budget.
Officials estimate the increase would provide insurance coverage to additional 50,000 Ohioans who need mental-health services.
Yet, additional funds aren't always the answer, so Plouck stressed the benefit of volunteering for support groups and call-in centers.
"There's something everyone can do that doesn't involve money," she said.
Paul Coleman, president and CEO of Maryhaven, which provides behavioral healthcare with a specialization on addiction recovery, said the quality of mental-health care often depends on geography.
In Franklin County, the local Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County, also known as ADAMH, provides $70 million in addiction recovery and mental health for both children and adults, Coleman said.
Of that $70 million, 75 percent comes from a property-tax levy which Franklin County residents consistently have approved over the last two decades, Coleman said.
He said mental illness "can't be cured, but can be managed very effectively through treatment."
However, until people are ready to commit to such a regimen, "there is nothing you can do," he said.
