Microsoft's upcoming anti-virus software gets named and dated.
Last week, we reported that Microsoft plans to launch a free anti-virus service in the near future, and that the company is currently testing an early version of the product internally with company employees. Code-named Morro, the service will offer protection comparable to low-end, $40-per-year products offered by companies such as Symantec and McAfee. The software will supposedly include protection against trojans, spyware, viruses, and even rootkits... all for free.
According to Neowin.net, Morro is now officially named as Microsoft Security Essentials, and a trial version is expected to reach the public sometime this September, with a full-blown release by the end of the year. Based on a recent build, the site states that MSE will not be a "suite" like offerings provided by McAfee and Symantec, but rather a very basic form of anti-virus. Janice Chaffin, Symantec's Consumer division president, said last week that MSE is a stripped down version of its OneCare product. "A full Internet security suite is what consumers require today to stay fully protected," she said.
Along with Neowin, Ars Technica is reporting the same information, verifying that the pre-beta anti-virus was actually leaked, and now comes with a newer user interface than one offered in previous builds. The report also indicates that MSE will be available as a standalone download for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Additionally, the leaked version also provided separate installers for XP 32-bit, Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit, and more. The file sizes are also rather small, ranging from 3 MB to 7 MB.
Eventually, end-users wanting to use the program will need a validated copy of Windows, as MSE has implemented a built-in validation tool into the software. "Microsoft Security Essentials is available to customers running a genuine and properly licensed copy of Windows," reads the disclaimer. "Using Genuine Windows can help avoid the risks associated with counterfeit software, such as malware, viruses, spyware, and phishing scams."
Ars added that while the installer is (currently) quite small, MSE isn't overly complicated, and doesn't consume large chunks of resources. Expect more information to come forth soon--hopefully from Microsoft itself in the form of an official press release--detailing specific capabilities and actual availability.

Hyundai will launch the CRDi diesel version of the hot selling i20 hatchback in India very soon.
While the market was already abuzz with runours of a July first week launch, this spy pic from geeash@team-bhp.com of an i20 with temporary registration plates confirms that the launch is very near.
The i20 CRDi will come with a 1.4 Litre CRDi engine which comes in two states of tune 75 bhp and 90 bhp. Its still not clear which version will Hyundai launch in India but the rumours say its the more powerful 90 bhp unit which can only be a good news for the prospective buyers.
The new supermini from Hyundai has been received well in the Indian market. The recent launch of the Honda Jazz with a price tag of Rs 7.33 Lakhs has only helped others in the segment.
The new i20 CRDi is expected to cost Rs 70,000 to Rs 100,000 over and above the similarly specced petrol variant.
Toyota will supply a minicar based on the iQ model for Aston Martin, a deal which would be Japanese maker’s only original equipment manufacturing deal with an outside brand.
The Aston Martin version of the car would be called the Cygnet and will be sold across Europe. The Cygnet will have its own distinct styling to differenciate it with the short and stubby iQ, which Toyota says is the world’s smallest four seater car at less than 3 meters long!
The launch date, price and production volumes have not been decided said a Toyota Spokesperson.
Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez said: “Much work is still required, but I am confident that this project could become reality in the not-too-distant future.”
Toyota also announced that it would launch a sporty limited edition variant of the iQ customized under Gazoo racing, a racing team under the Toyota operated marketting website www.gazoo.com

Press Release: Toyota
New Aston Martin “Cygnet” inspired by Toyota’s iQ; Collaboration marks critical step in plans to expand ‘iQ world’
Toyota’s revolutionary iQ platform is about to reset traditional thinking, with plans that the world’s smallest four-seater will serve as the basis for a new luxury commuter car to be exclusively built for and sold to Aston Martin owners.
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) today announced that the new “Cygnet” would pair Aston Martin’s trademark design flair with the Toyota iQ’s highly compact and low-CO2 city driving package.
The commuter car will be tailored specifically to customer requirements at Aston Martin’s global headquarters in Gaydon, the United Kingdom.
‘It’s a great compliment that the Toyota iQ has been hand-picked by one of the world’s most prestigious sports car brands, a company with whom we also share a strong friendship. This collaboration represents a natural pairing of strategies: a small yet spacious package, perfect for the city driver, finished off with Aston Martin’s iconic design language,’ said Tadashi Arashima, CEO and President of TME.
‘The Cygnet is a good choice for the Aston Martin owner looking for that second or third car, which is luxurious and eco-conscious,’ he added.
Although radically different in size and customer base, Aston Martin and Toyota are united in their corporate philosophies of delivering superior quality, engineering excellence and innovative technology. The collaboration is also fortunate to benefit from a strong relationship underlined by a passion for cars.
The Toyota iQ is considered a breakthrough in intelligent design. Less than three metres in length, its flexible package can accommodate up to four people, providing owners with a new dimension of versatility. Featuring a range of design innovations - such as its flat under-floor fuel tank and asymmetric dashboard - the iQ is positioned as the “no compromise choice” with CO2 emissions starting as low as 99 g/km. It also offers outstanding levels of passive and active safety equipment resulting in a Euro NCAP 5-star rating.
Despite tough market conditions for the automotive industry, the Toyota iQ has proved appealing to a wide variety of city drivers with a taste for style, driving performance and low CO2. The Toyota iQ made its European sales debut in January 2009. It continues to perform in line with expectation, with over 25,000 units sold to-date.
The planned collaboration with Aston Martin is a timely endorsement of the iQ’s superior packaging. The announcement marks a critical step in Toyota’s longer-term planning to expand the ‘iQ world’ - that is, to bring new versions of the Toyota iQ to market globally and expand the company’s eco-friendly line-up.
Press Release Aston Martin
Gaydon, Monday 29 June 2009. Aston Martin has developed a new luxury commuter concept; the ‘Cygnet’ which will offer customers a distinctive, intelligent and exclusive solution for urban travel in style and luxury.
The concept will offer Aston Martin trademark design in a commuter car package based on the critically acclaimed Toyota iQ with a Euro NCAP 5-star safety package.
The ‘Cygnet’ concept represents a creative, environmentally conscious solution, being small, yet with presence - and highly fuel efficient, now combined with the prestige of Aston Martin’s luxury brand ownership.
Aston Martin, the world leader in exclusive niche engineering is collaborating on this concept with Toyota the world leader in volume, quality and reliability. Although vastly different in size, Toyota and Aston Martin share the philosophy of engineering excellence and innovation underlined by a strong passion for cars.
Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez said: “Now is the right time for Aston Martin to take this first bold step to embark on this special project - made possible with the support of an organisation of Toyota’s stature and capability and the intelligent design and perfect city car package of the iQ.”
“Much work is still required, but I am confident that this project could become reality in the not too distant future. This concept - akin to an exclusive tender to a luxury yacht - will allow us to apply Aston Martin design language, craftsmanship and brand values to a completely new segment of the market.”
“The offering of a ‘Cygnet’ with a DBS, DB9 or Vantage is a unique combination of opposites and a novel transport solution allowing intelligent and sensitive mobility on an exclusive and innovative level.”

Five of Jackson's solo albums – "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "HIStory," all with Epic Records, a Sony Music label – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and "Thriller" as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.
Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and the epic "Thriller." Jackson's sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.

For those of us who have always dreamed of a flying car, there's reason to rejoice. An American company called Terrafugia near Boston has developed a concept car called "The Transition". It can seat up to two people and fly in the air at up to 115 miles per hour and cruise for up to 450 miles. This dual concept vehicle is equipped with a front wheel drive for the roads and a foldable wing and it can be parked in any single car garage. It uses a propeller provided at the rear for traversing through the air. Transition uses unleaded petrol as fuel for both on ground as well as in flight modes.
Though this car is capable of taking off from any road, the laws in the United States allow it to take off from any general aviation airport. Despite the fact that only one prototype has been developed so far, it is expected to be a reality by around 2011. Set up in 2006, the Company Terrafugia is run by engineers and MBA from of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The vehicle is expected to cost around $200,000, but it seems that folks are undeterred by the high cost, as the company has already received orders for 60 vehicles so far.
For you are interested in beating that congested city traffic, this flying car offers a convenient way of taking to the air and avoiding any hassles. If you wish to come down to earth, then just touch down and the flying car will fold its wings in 30 seconds. With the completion of the first step of the four stage production process, the company will now move to the next stage of developing the Beta prototype. Nearly 28 different tests have been carried out on the flying car. Flying this car will need a sport pilot certificate since it has been categorized as a light sport aircraft.
