Can a Thunderbolt display switch between two computers?

If a Thunderbolt display is the primary display for a Mac Mini, is it possible for the display to switch to a MacBook Air? Without necessarily pulling the Thunderbolt connection from the Mac Mini? (Extra credit if this means the two machines could share the same USB-connected keyboard and mouse, via the same display?)

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any Thunderbolt console switches yet. I'd prefer never to buy one.

Will the 27" Thunderbolt Display power a USB SuperDrive?

My SuperDrive works only if I plug it directly into my Retina Display MBP, thus taking up one of the USB ports. My powered USB hub will not power the SuperDrive, and neither will the USB ports on the back of my 30" Cinema Display monitor.

If I get the 27" Thunderbolt Display, can I plug the SuperDrive into one of the USB ports on the back of the display and draw enough power from it?

Thunderbolt display cable length/extension

Apple doesn't say, but I've read that the integral Thunderbolt cable is just one meter (or three feet approx.). I have also read that it is possible to extend this by purchasing the two meter Thunderbolt cable from Apple and connecting to the extra port, but then I will not have powered USB / Firewire ports on the display.

Question: is there a connector that would allow me to extend the integral cable by adding Apple's cable and thus retain use of the Thunderbolt port and allow power to the USB & Firewire ports.

I am will be using this with a rMacbook Pro. I have some work I need to do at a few feet distant from the monitor.

Thank you.

I got a raspberry Pi for christmas- If you don't know what it is it is a aRM GNU/Lunix box

Anyways I need a monitor and I have been thinking about getting a thunderbolt display for my 2011 MBP 15" and was hoping to kinda kill 2 birds with one stone here....

The Raspberry Pi connects via HDMI and I know you can get a thunderbolt to HDMI cable so would this work????

It is an expensive monitor so if it won't work I will just have to buy a samsung or similar >_<
