A non-jailbroken iPhone, Safari running on Snow Leopard and World Wide Web Explorer 8 and Firefox on Windows 7 were no match for shield analysts at the annual Pwn2Own contest at the CanSecWest safety measure show, where none of them stood up to the tryout, having being hacked and fully compromised without even having physical access to the machine. that just goes to show how “secure” your machine is, no matter which platform you’re on, whether it is the target of the right hacker. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, eh?

Despite the release of Windows 7, there are still many users out there who are clinging on desperately to Windows XP. Now it seems that it may not be Microsoft who will force users to ditch the venerable OS, rather hard drive manufacturers. A recent report indicates that manufacturers are looking to move away from the ancient 512 byte sector size, which has been around for ages now, to a 4K sector size. By doing so, they’ll be able to offer about 7-11% more details on the disk, as there is less wasted space where documents cannot be stored due to the area committed to storing error codes.

Modern operating systems such as Windows 7, Vista, OS X Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and all versions of the Linux kernel released after September 2009 are 4K aware, so there shouldn’t be a problem, but for operating systems older than that, it might be an issue. Advanced format drives should still be able to manage with Windows XP via emulation, but despite there being a minimal performance hit when reading from the drive, it’s possible that there might be a 10% performance dip when goods is being written. So it looks like XP has taken another small step to that big operating system heaven in the sky.
