Attaching a Single Lens Reflex(SLR) to your iPhone to make it a DSLR. iPhone 4-friendly prototype that delivers some truly impressive results. Sadly, the actual iPhone 4 version of the rig won't be available for a while yet, but you can get an idea of what will be possible with it after the break.

Firefox Tab Candy is a new upcoming tab management feature for Firefox. It helps you organise tabs into groups. Not only does it offer incredibly handy features, but it looks awesome.

Watch the video above, by Mozilla's excellent interface designer Aza Raskin, for a quick overview. The basic concept is similar to the Exposé and Spaces feature of OS X and the app folders in iOS4.

You drag and drop tabs to re-arrange them in groups, create new groups by simply dragging a web page outside an existing group or by dragging another tab on top of it. To add you can name each group to the specific task you are doing. And added feature is group nesting where groups can exist inside another group. And with sharing, the ideas are infinite.

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE for short) is a free Antivirus solution for all genuine Microsoft Windows Users. Comparatively, it is a much better solution than free Antivirus software such as Avira, Avast & AVG (hey, they all start with A )

Installation

Installing MSE relatively fast for a free solution. Once the setup initialises , it checks for a validated copy of Windows and downloads anti-Malware signature updates. Once finished, there is an option to launch a Quick Scan, though optional but a highly recommended.

Detection:

As discovered during the scan tests, detection on MSE is solid, it's good to see that the Malware placed on the system during the pre-install browsing session being picked up. After MSE discovered no other infections, those results were checked against two online scanning engines, as well as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

To add to the detection tests, a password protected Zip file with 50 samples of Malware was loaded on to the system. The samples were all from attachments in malicious email, as well as downloaded from the Internet in the form of fake codecs from video sites.

The password protected Zip was not detected as a threat after scanning it with MSE. However, once unpacked to a folder named Infected, MSE detected and removed every sample, leaving only the folders behind.

Based on the scanning of known Malware, MSE did great on this part of the test. However, as mentioned, this was a test of 50 known samples; so failure would have been inexcusable. With that said, to double check detection, we pointed the test system to a few malicious and newly active domains.

Conclusion:

Based on testing, the detection offered by MSE is great for a free product. Yet, that does not mean it is infallible. New threats, and new methods to expose users to them, appear hourly. A little caution while surfing the Web, and good maintenance routines – like applying system patches and software updates regularly – will prevent you from getting infected in the first place.

Still, for a free AV product, MSE is impresive. The only downside was the slow scanning. If you can live with that, and are looking for a free security application, then Microsoft Security Essentials is a great choice.

Point to note: As MSE is a free security solution, it cannot be compared to paid solutions such as Kapersky and Norton. These paid solutions have an added frequent definition updates as quickly as every 15 minutes as well as heuristic solutions. Moreover these paid solutions usually do scan much faster.
