Right now you can only display your iPad on a projector with either a VGA connector (http://goo.gl/XweLA) or the HDMI connector (http://goo.gl/Ghvry).
You also can display an iPad on a projector with an Apple TV (connected to a projector…the projector must have an HDMI connector as that’s the only connector on the Apple TV) and both the Apple TV and the iPad needs to be on the wireless network.
There are some other solutions that may or may not work but those are the ones that don’t involve a great deal of trickery. On the radar are companies like Banana TV that will allow you to push certain content to your computer from the iPad but it’s not mirroring…yet. When asked they said, “Believe me, we’re working on it!”
You can see a desktop on your iPad with apps like Logmein (http://goo.gl/lYGWW) 29.99 or Splashtop Remote (http://goo.gl/SALKi) which is on sale now for .99! Splashtop on Windows it’s free but the OS X version is 4.99 currently although there site says that will jump to $19.99 soon.

This is great! All you need is a printer and a web cam, visit this web site http://goo.gl/JWRn1 and let the fun begin! Print out the paper and you are off! This is an amazing example of what augmented reality can do. If you have an iPhone this is a great game that uses it too called Falcon Gunner (Like the Millennium Falcon!) Google and a few other companies are starting to incorporate it into their programs like Google Sky (Android Phone Only)

Who is this?
Not too hard right? How about this?
Again easy right? Well what if you were attempting to identify some one a bit more important than even those last two pictures take these two gentlemen…
How would you go about doing this? Phone a friend? Nope how about letting Google Images help! Look here for Google’s complete post on using an image to preform a Google Search. So who were those two guys?
