Microsoft promises to reveal details about the Internet Explorer 9 in March

Corporation Microsoft, apparently, is going to disclose details of the ninth version of its Internet Explorer browser at MIX 10 conference, which will be held March 15-17, 2010 in Las Vegas. In any case, the message is called "Internet Explorer 9 at MIX10" appeared in the news section of the site of the conference.



In the published paper, Microsoft says it will announce further details about its new browser, Internet Explorer 9, the first demonstration which took place at the Professional Developers Conference 2009 in Los Angeles this past November. But then was shown only one of the first pre-release versions IE9, and since then the browser probably been adjusted.

According to available data, the Internet Explorer 9 should be better supports modern web standards, as well as improved performance, especially with regard to work with in JavaScript. In addition, Internet Explorer 9 will support hardware acceleration features and improved control system bookmarks.

Kaspersky Lab has patented hardware antivirus

Kaspersky Lab reported about the successful patenting in the U.S. hardware anti-virus system to effectively deal with rootkits. As part of the new technology are encouraged to use hardware anti-virus - a device neutralizing the most common type of threats - malicious programs which reside on a hard drive or infect existing files on it.



The patented anti-virus checks the data to be stored on the harddisk, identifies malware and blocks their entry. The inventor - chief technology experts from Kaspersky Lab Oleg Zaitsev. A patent for new technology is registered U.S. Patent Office on Feb. 2, 2010 under the number 7 657 941.

The patented device is placed between the storage device (hard drive or SSD) and computational units (CPU and memory) is connected to the system bus, or integrating into the hard disk controller. When using hardware anti-virus blocks or allows writing data to disk, producing reports of threats and their actions to the user (the dialogue with the user is possible if the PC hardware tools for managing anti-virus). The device can operate separately or in conjunction with antivirus software.

Due to the hardware rather than software implementation, invented the technology regardless of the configuration of the operating system and is effective for combating malicious programs that increase their privileges in the system, for example, such a dangerous threat as rootkits. Rootkits intercept operating system functions, which enables them to actively oppose their detection and removal by antivirus software, working in the same environment. Thus, rootkits are able to block the launch of anti-virus application, monitor its actions and restore deleted them malicious processes, change settings remove the registry, etc. In the case of hardware solutions are not working in an environment contaminated with the OS, all these methods are unsuccessful, and the rootkit will be quickly neutralized.

In the patented device uses its own updated anti-virus databases that are protected when upgrading from malicious code and erroneous entries. Proposed anti-virus has its own processor and memory, that is not consuming resources of the computer that is connected. If necessary, it can connect a separate power supply.

NEC develops high-speed interface with bandwidth up to 16 Gbit / s

It would seem that the standard USB 3.0 is just beginning to be implemented successfully in computer hardware and consumer electronics, Japanese scientists have already opened up new horizons for speed. NEC has developed a new interface for high-speed serial interaction, the capacity of which reaches the turn in 16 Gbps.



Thus, the new technology, created by NEC, about three times faster than the speed of data transmission existing interface SuperSpeed USB, and bus PCI-Express 2.0. Recall theoretically attainable speed of information exchange in the interface of USB 3.0 is "only" 4.8 Gbps. This extra-high capacity, according to Japanese researchers, will use the technology they created in a variety of devices, for example, in high definition TV, or for the transfer of three-dimensional video.

Its high-speed next-generation, developed by experts NEC, uses the same binary information transmission scheme that USB and PCI-Express. However, it applied the technology pre-emptive correction of the vibrational signals, while minimizing interference between bits of data and, ultimately, significantly improve the channel capacity.

Japanese company promises to continue to develop its new interface. At the same time at the hands of the NEC already has a USB chip, which allows user to transfer data at speeds of 16 Gbit / sec. So it is possible that a year or two SuperSpeed USB interface can befall the fate of its predecessor USB 2.0.

Sony stops selling their OLED TVs in Japan due to low demand

One of the world's leading electronics manufacturers Sony Corporation decided to cease production of its OLED TVs for the Japanese market. The main reason for this surprising decision was the low demand for such devices and the increased competition in the segment more traditional LCD TVs.



Recall that in late 2007, it was in Japan, Sony has released the first TV with a screen based on organic light-emitting diodes - a model XEL-1. However, the electronics giant now more skeptical about the introduction of OLED technology in the production of televisions. At least, it concerns domestic market of the company.

The reason is simple - the high cost of OLED TV XEL-1, and, consequently, low demand for this product. Indeed, spread over 2000 dollars for a TV with a diagonal of 11 inches, and even in conditions of economic instability - to say the least wasteful. And none of the advantages of OLED screens do not seem able to inspire the Japanese consumers.

However, selling the XEL-1 in the U.S. and European markets will continue. In addition, Sony is not going to stop investing in development of OLED displays, although a priority for the Japanese corporation was listed today on the issue of energy-efficient LCD TVs with LED backlight, as well as the production of 3D TV.
