Submission + - Windows 7 Team on Battery Notification Messages (msdn.com)

VindictivePantz writes: The Windows 7 team has posted a new blog entry discussing the latest about the reported Windows 7 battery failures.
"...every single indication we have regarding the reports we’ve seen are simply Windows 7 reporting the state of the battery using this new feature and we’re simply seeing batteries that are not performing above the designated threshold...As we always say with regards to any reports on the quality of Windows 7, we are going to continue to be diligent and use all the tools at our disposal to get to the bottom of a report that has the potential to require a code change we would distribute to customers. We are as certain as we can be that we have addressed the root cause and concerns of this report, but we will continue to monitor the situation. In particular, we will continue to have focused communication with our OEM partners as they monitor their customers and PCs over time."

Submission + - Bizarre Properties of Glass Revealed (livescience.com)

VindictivePantz writes: "Scientists have made a breakthrough discovery in the bizarre properties of glass, which behaves at times like both a solid and a liquid...Knowing the structure formed by atoms as a glass cools represents a major breakthrough in the understanding of meta-stable materials and will allow further development of new strong yet light materials called metallic glasses, [Paddy Royall] said, already used to make some golf clubs. This stuff is generally shiny black in color, not transparent, due to having a lot of free electrons (think of mercury in an old thermometer)....Metallic glasses could be suitable for a whole range of products, beyond golf clubs, that need to be flexible such as aircraft wings and engine parts."
