AMD processors are "turbo mode"

Do as Intel, but with a simplified solution.

Intel introduced the Company's Nehalem architecture, which first was used by the Core i7 processors, a technology called "Turbo Boost". This brief goes out on that by turning of some cores in the processor, other kernels work with higher clock speed than when all cores are active. This should be done within the same maximum power requirement that the processor would otherwise have had.

Now it appears that AMD also seems such a solution is a good idea. Site AnandTech presents a solution called "Turbo Core", which should be taken in the use of AMD's upcoming Phenom II X6 processor, which is six cores processors for desktop PCs. They are also known under the code name "Thuban. The first models can be expected during this quarter, probably in late April, to a highly unofficial price of between 200 and 300 dollars.

Will remove common browser error from Firefox

Can reveal the user's surfing habits.

Most browsers logs the URLs a user has visited. This history is taken care of in a period which in many cases, the user can decide the length of. This can in many ways be practical for the user, especially when entering URLs in the address field. If you have visited the site before, your readers may fill out the rest of the URL once the user has entered the first part. 
But the content of Web pages can be influenced by history. Links to web pages you have visited before, is often shown with a different color or style than non-visited links. How do the links look like, can be determined using a stylesheet (CSS).
The problem in most browsers is that the information about whether the links have been visited or not, is available via the Web site that links are displayed. Such information can be gathered using the JavaScript functions that getComputedStyle ().
Challenges is that you can not simply turn off this option without the users lose function.
Mozilla has been clear over the issue since 2002, when a notice was posted to Bugzilla.

Unable to create documents according to ISO standard.

Microsoft has committed to implement the ISO standard edition of Office Open XML (OOXML), as approved in November 2008. It has been expected that this would happen in Office 2010.
Office 2010 will be launched in a month, but tests of the beta version shows that OOXML support is in place.

This writes Alex Brown, leader of the ISO subcommittee for information descriptive language (WG 1) in a blog post.

More than doubles Blu-ray capacity

Equips the discs with multiple recording layers.

Blu-ray Disc Association announced this weekend that the specification BDXL and IH-BD (Intra-hybrid) can be expected during a few months.

BDXL targeted commercial segments such as broadcasting, medicine and other businesses that create large amounts of data. These will benefit from that BDXL be open to writable discs with a capacity of 100 or 128 gigabytes, and rewritable discs with a capacity of 100 gigabytes. This is achieved by applying three or four recordable layer on the discs.

It should also be a consumer version of BDXL.

Intra-Hybrid Blu-ray Disc (IH-BD) takes on its side using a single BD-ROM layers and a single BD-RE-layer so that the user can see, but not overwrite the data on one part of disc, while the other portion of the disc can be used to store personal data. Both teams will have a capacity of 25 gigabytes.
BDXL and IH-BD will require entirely new equipment for both recording and playback. These future devices will however work with current BD format, which can accommodate up to 50 gigabytes of data.
