Building on hardware-accelerated SVG, canvas, video, audio, and text, developers will use the power of the whole PC to achieve great performance.

IE9 also supports the HTML5 video and audio tags and the Web Open Font Format.

With new JavaScript engine IE9 is expected to perform faster and with full HTML support it is expected to regain its lost market share in Browser market. after the success of Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft is spending more time to bring IE9 as a powerful product.

Similar to Twitter, world’ most popular video sharing site Youtube announced its own URL shortening service – youtu.be.

URL Shortening, a service popularized by micro-blogging site twitter.com is a technique to reduce the length of the URL to make it simple.

For eg a lengthy URL like http://www.zonshare.com/magazine/2009/12/speed-up-your-windows-with-readyboost/ can be converted to http://bit.ly/5wxp7h.

To use the new youtu.be service simply replace the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= with http://youtu.be/ .

For eg after converting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14swhcMkMqA will become http://youtu.be/14swhcMkMqA.

Unlike popular URL shortening service sites like bit.ly and tinyurl.com, youtu.be will work only with youtube.com urls.
