Following Smart Connect, a technology that automatically updates your system with the new operating system updates while the system is in suspend mode.
Cedar Trail is the code name by which future architectures are indicated with an Intel Atom. Built for the first time with 32-nanometer production technology, these new CPUs will be offered initially in two versions: Atom N2600 with clock frequency of 1.6 GHz Atom N2800 clocked at 1.86 GHz for both'll also integrated component GPU with hardware support for DirectX 10.1 as well as video playback up to a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

8 Developer Preview and Windows virtualization software
Microsoft devotes an entire post 8 Building Windows the ability to install Windows Developer Preview 8 within a virtual machine. The argument has been ignored until now by the Redmond, even though the use of virtualization in software development is not an uncommon practice. Indeed, Microsoft itself points out how when one third of the installations of Windows Developer Preview 8 are implemented on the virtual machine.
The developers, however, invite caution in judging and simply try the new operating system in the virtualized environment only: guaranteed benefits, responsiveness and smoothness of the interface graphics are often placed in difficulty by limitations related to running as Guest OS right. By having a system to be dedicated to Windows 8 is therefore recommended that a clean install of the operating system, possibly in multi-boot.
For those who want to pursue the path of virtualization of Microsoft in the post the following programs are suggested:
Hyper-V in Windows Developer Preview 8
Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2
VM ware Workstation 8.0 for Windows
Virtual Box 4.1.2 for Windows
The above list has been built not by direct evidence of Microsoft, but rather by collecting feedback from users who have already installed Windows 8. In the case of Virtual Box can confirm having used for some tests in a direct way. There are other consumer software that currently does not offer the ability to run Windows virtualized 8, the list indicated that Microsoft is as follows: Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server (all versions), Windows 7 XP Mode, VM Ware Workstation 7.x and earlier.
It is likely that in the coming weeks for updates to be released virtualization software that does not allow the proper use of Windows 8. For those who had not yet tried Windows Developer Preview 8 point out that the download link, and this article about Virtual Box virtual machine to create your own test.

55 years and not hear them: happy birthday, hard drive
As reported by Hard OCP, in these days celebrating a birthday very important that the hard disk, the most common and popular data storage device. In the field of computer science are really very few components, while considering the technological evolution, have been able to maintain unchanged its basic philosophy for 55 years (the same age, month over month less, actors Tom Hanks and Mel Gibson and guitarist Joe Satriani).
To give birth to the hard disk, in that distant 1956, was IBM, with a device that looks a lot like the old jukebox. The weight of the entire system, the disks were only a small part, passed over a ton, it cost 38,400 dollars (at that time were very many) and allowed to store 5MB of data.
The dishes were well-used 50, with a diameter of 24 inches (approximately 60cm). 0.1 MB flat, well, really nothing compared to the specific capacities of today. But you will have to wait 70 years to give the name of the unit disk (the first was fixed disk), to better distinguish it from revolutionary removable floppy disk and flexible.
At 55 years of age the hard disk is still alive and well, despite recent attacks by the NAND Flash chip: for storage capacity and price per GB is the "old" technology is not afraid of any rival, and is expected to have in front him still a lot 'of time. Congratulations hard drive!

Windows media and Flash 8, Adobe speaks
Last week we dealt with this news, to analyze the operation of the new browser interface optimized for Metro. As we have stated on numerous occasions, and it should be remembered, in Windows 8 there are two versions of the browser: an optimized interface and an underground classic for the Desktop. The two browsers behave like two different components. The browser interface is optimized for Metro HTML5 and supports, in any way, additional third-party plug ins. Translated into practical terms: no support for the Flash player.
Adobe, on its official blog, by 'an explanation and explains how technology will flash does not cut off. As reported by the company, in fact, flash will be supported by Metro through Adobe AIR development platform makes it possible to manage content on multiple platforms without compatibility issues. As is true today for Android, iPhone OS and Blackberry tomorrow will be for Windows 8.
Adobe takes an example Machineries, one of the most downloaded app from the App Store of Apple and that has been developed in Flash. In his post Adobe try this to explain why the company is going to provide solutions that allow developers to create interactive content that are highly compatible: for this to work with companies like Microsoft and Apple, as well as HTML with the community, continues.
What emerges, on balance, is the abandonment of the flash player: optimized solutions with little computing power contained, is not able to provide a proper user experience. Adobe has to adapt so well and follow HTML5.
