Windows Phone 7 update delay confirmed
Microsoft has confirmed that its March NoDo update for Windows Phone 7 will be postponed for weeks following the complete disaster that was the rollout of their February update. CEO Steve Ballmer had initially said the update would be hitting smartphones the first week of March. Spokesman Eric Hautala, the leader of the team behind the updates, says that the update will now be headed to smartphones in the last week of March, but possibly a bit earlier.

NVIDIA presents GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Everyone knows that mid-range cards are the ones that rake in the most dough, and while we are waiting on NVIDIA's dual GF110 GPU flagship, NVIDIA launches its GF116 based mid-range GTX 550 Ti card. Continuing the tradition started with the GTX 560 Ti, the new GTX 550 is yet another card that will have the Titanium suffix. It's based on NVIDIA's GF116 GPU with 192 CUDA cores and it looks like there will be no reference card. Namely, partners are free to come up with their own designs from day one, which means that we will surely see a lot of factory overclocked models. Most cards will be paired up with 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 192-bit memory interface and clocked at around 4100MHz. The GPU ended up clocked at 900MHz on most cards while those 192 CUDA cores tick at 1800MHz. Of course, some factory overclocked cards will go as high as 1GHz for the GPU and 4400MHz for memory.

Seagate intros 800GB SSD for the enterprise
Seagate put out four professional drives targeted at both enterprise users and serious users (no joking with them for sure), including a near record-setting SSD. The Pulsar.2 is marketed as the first SSD using multi-level cell (MLC) in business and uses the denser storage to boost capacity, but without reducing its lifespan. It can hold as much as 800GB in its 2.5-inch form but can take as many as 15 petabytes of writes, which means more than five years if its drive were completely rewritten 10 times every day. Its companion, the Pulsar XT.2, caps off at 400GB but, through faster single-level cell (SLC) storage, is intended for areas where speed is more important than capacity. It can reach sustained, sequential read speeds of up to 360MB per second and write speeds of 300MB per second. Both it and the Pulsar.2 can work on up to a 6Gbps SATA interface.

Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9
It seems that a new browser war is about to begin, because the stable version of Internet Explorer 9 is now available for Windows 7 and Vista (and also their server counterparts, 2008 and 2008 R2), and it's finally fast and usable like the other browsers on the market. Microsoft promises to bring you the best experience of the web through technology, performance and support.
