We have searched for ways to MIX10 for Windows Phone 7 juicy tidbits – and you already have our demo videos on the newest applications and functionality? – Smartphones are not the only think Microsoft wants to talk developers. Today, the Internet Explorer 9 has been in line to on the stage, with a focus on hardware-accelerated HTML5, a new JavaScript engine and Direct 2-D technology.

Far in its current state, the new JavaScript engine takes off IE8, as you can see in the graphic below. It is behind Chrome, Safari and Opera 10.5 at the moment, but besting Firefox 3.6 (with a little, anyway), and we are promised further improvements, as they tweak the script. Part of the way Microsoft approached JavaScript is to make it run in a separate thread in the background by the browser, even on a separate CPU core, if available. That takes better advantage of multi-core processors, a decent idea because many people spend the most time in their browsers in those days.

Now that a complete release of the new IE9 is now the company is “Platform Preview”, but there are some downloads that you can try if you are open-minded developers. The IEBlog has several links, and they will continue to update the preview all eight weeks prior to the release client.

Hard drives are about to undergo one of the biggest changes in the format 30 years ago.

By early 2011, all disks are an advanced format, “that changes how they use during the backup of the data and save the people on them. The conversion to the extended format makes it easier to spend on the hard disk manufacturers to larger drives, less power and produce more reliable.

However, it could mean problems for Windows XP users to change an old drive for a change to the format.

Error Codes

Since the days of the venerable DOS operating system, was the large space on a hard drive formatted in blocks of 512 bytes. The 512-byte sector has been standardized by IBM, which they used on floppy disks. While 512 bytes was useful when hard drives were only a few megabytes in size, it makes little sense when drives can apply one terabyte (1,000 gigabytes) or more of data.

The 512-byte format comes from the days of the floppy disk. “The technology has changed, but that the basic building block of the formatting is not,” said David Burks, a product marketing manager for the storage company Seagate.

This fine resolution on the hard drives is causing the problem, he said, because of the wasted space associated with each small block. Each 512-byte sector has shown a mark where it begins and dedicated a room for storing error correction code. In addition, a small gap between the different sectors has to be released. The large drives, not this wasted space in which data can be saved to take a significant part of the drive.
