 Canon today added new members to its line of value LCD Multimedia Projectors with two new WXGA resolution (1280 x 800) widescreen and four new XGA resolution (1024 x 768) models. Compact and lightweight with more convenient user features than ever before, Canon's new LV-8310, LV-8215, LV-7385, LV-7380, LV-7285 and LV-7280 LCD Multimedia Projectors are ideal for educational and business presenters seeking to display bright, crisp images and videos.
"Canon strives to develop projectors offering superior quality and flexibility to the end-user," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A. "The addition of these new LCD Multimedia Projectors will provide customers with many different options to choose from when deciding what their projection needs entail."
New Features
All six new models share several new and innovative features, such as:
# Improved Lamp Lighting System to help reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by operating the lamp at a lower wattage (without reducing lamp intensity) and also extend the lamp life up to 4,000 hours in Normal Mode and 5,000 hours in Quiet Mode.
# Carbon Reduction Meter to calculate and display the amount of CO2 emissions reduced from operating in Quiet Mode.
# Auto Energy Saver which automatically switches the projector to Quiet Mode when no input signal is received for one minute. This helps to both save energy and prolong the life of the lamp.
# Power-Saving Stand-By Mode to aid in reducing overall power consumption to less than 1W by setting the stand-by mode to "Power Saving".
Responding to the growing popularity of widescreen notebook and desktop computers, Canon's new LV-8310 and LV-8215 LCD Multimedia Projectors provide native WXGA widescreen resolution (1280 x 800) and an aspect ratio of 16:10. This enables these two new projectors to support WXGA resolution computers without the need for compression and/or unsightly distortion.
Key Features of new Canon LCD Projectors
In addition to the new features cited above, Canon's new LCD Multimedia Projectors share a wide variety of key features providing optimum performance and convenient operation. One such attribute is high brightness for use in areas, such as classrooms or meeting rooms, where ambient light exists and cannot be controlled, and turning the lights off is not preferred.
The new projectors are rated as follows:
# LV-7385: 3500 lumens
# LV-8310 and LV-7380: 3000 lumens
# LV-8215 and LV-7285: 2600 lumens
# LV-7280: 2200 lumens
Each projector also has multiple inputs for a wide variety of computer, video and control sources and functions. The DVI-I interface ensures a digital connection supports the HDCP and high-definition contents available today (HD signals supported include 1080i and 720p). Also included is an RS-232 port and a built-in RJ-45 network port which is most often used by colleges/universities and those managing larger AV systems to connect projectors to an existing network to conveniently control them from a remote location.
Pricing, Availability and Warranty Information
The new Canon LV-8310 and LV-8215 LCD Multimedia Projectors will have a suggested list price of $1,199 and $1,099, respectively. The suggested list price of the new LV-7385, LV-7380, LV-7285 and LV-7280 LCD Multimedia Projectors will be $1,699, $999, $899, and $799, respectively. All of the new models are scheduled to ship in early April and will be backed by Canon U.S.A.'s Three-Year Limited Warranty and exclusive Projector Protection Program ("Triple P"). Triple P is a FREE service program that provides a loaner projector of equal or greater value in the event that a qualifying unit is in need of repair. Triple P is available on all Canon projector models during the Canon U.S.A. Three-Year Limited Warranty period.

 Kaspersky Lab has introduced the Kaspersky Password Manager, the company's first product specifically designed to safeguard and automatically submit the passwords we use every day to access Web sites and online applications. Speedy access and excellent security combine to protect personal information and data from being lost, stolen or compromised by sophisticated malware and cybercriminals (not to mention just plain forgetfulness).
Poor password habits are not theoretical. In a recent independent study conducted by Forrester Research, Inc., 36 percent of respondents admitted to storing their passwords on a paper list. Additionally, 24 percent use a variation of the same username and password for all their logins. ("North American Technographics Emerging Uses Of Technology Online Survey, Q1 2009 (US),"
Forrester Research, Inc., April, 2009.) When considering the valuable financial, healthcare, and personal information these passwords safeguard, such careless password practices create huge opportunities for cybercriminals or online con artists.
Here's how Kaspersky Password Manager works -
Whenever a user visits a Web site or opens a program that requires password entry, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically prompts users to save their login credentials into the software's encrypted database. The next time that Web site is visited or program is opened, Kaspersky Password Manager will automatically enter the required username and password, allowing the user to sign-in with a single click. This has several key security benefits, including:
Storing the password in an encrypted database - not in the browser's cache memory, which is typically done and can be easily exploited by password thieves;
Eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords, making users less likely to engage in risky shortcuts - such as using the same password for every site, or writing lists of passwords next to their computer; and
Verifying the addresses of Web sites to ensure the correct password to each site is used - defeating phishing attempts that redirect users to cleverly forged Web sites designed to steal personal information.
Kaspersky Password Manager is built to deliver the most comprehensive combination of password security and convenience available, offering numerous advantages over both premium and ‘freeware' password products.
Convenient Security
In order to access Kaspersky Password Manager, users only need to remember a single ‘master password' to unlock a specific program or gain access to a site. Users can also choose to ‘sign-in' to Kaspersky Password Manager using a physical token, such as a USB stick or Bluetooth device. For example, Kaspersky Password Manager can be programmed to unlock only when the user's mobile phone is connected to the PC, and when the user leaves with their phone, the software automatically locks down.
Instant Data Entry
To speed users through routine data entry, Kaspersky Password Manager can store more than usernames and passwords. Users can store personal information, such as their address, birthday or phone number, and use Kaspersky Lab's software to automatically enter that information when filling out common online forms, such as credit card purchases or registration materials.
Protection & Peace of Mind
Most users will allow their Web browser to store passwords in caches, leaving their credentials exposed to even the most basic malware. After securely saving a password for a Web site or online application, Kaspersky Password Manager will automatically delete the password from vulnerable temporary files or Web browser caches.
When creating new online access passwords, Kaspersky Password Manager will rate the strength of the chosen password, prompting users to enhance passwords that are common or easily guessed. If users are unsure how to create strong passwords, Kaspersky Password Manager can instantly create unique passwords, storing them automatically and offering the strongest possible security for any new log-in credentials.
Most computer users will access their information from more than one computer on any given day, so Kaspersky Password Manager can be loaded on a USB drive for mobile access. By simply plugging the USB into computers found in hotels, school labs, or libraries, users can access their secure password vault without installing any software to the public computer. Kaspersky Password Manager automatically deletes all traces of personal information once unplugged from the shared machine.
Peter Beardmore, Senior Product Marketing Manager Kaspersky Lab Americas says: "For cybercriminals, stolen consumer passwords and personal information are the currency that fuels their black market. By keeping our users' passwords as secure as possible, we're preventing these criminals from harvesting this so-called low-hanging fruit, while at the same time making the typical online activities for the average user faster and more convenient than ever before."
How to Buy
Kaspersky Password Manager is available for one-time purchase fee of $24.95, with no yearly license fees to renew. Users can download the product today at www.kaspersky.com.
Kaspersky Password Manager is compatible with Microsoft's Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, and easily integrated into most common Web browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and others. Kaspersky Password Manager is available in English or French, and includes free lifetime technical support from Kaspersky Lab's U.S.-based support center, offering support in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

 Intel today took the wraps off of its Xeon 5600 CPUs. The new chips provide deliver two new security features. One is called the Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel AES-NI), and the second is Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) which enable faster encryption and decryption performance for more secure transactions and virtualized environments, providing data centers with a stronger foundation for cloud security.
Today Intel also announced availability of the new Intel Core i7-980X Processor Extreme Edition, the company's first 32nm, six-core processor with 12 computing threads for client applications. Offering stunning performance for digital content creation, 3-D rendering, multitasking and hardcore gaming, the new Intel Core i7-980X is drop-in compatible with most existing Intel X58 Express chipset-based motherboards. Running at 3.33 GHz, the Intel Core i7-980X is overclocking-enabled to provide flexibility to advanced users who want to adjust their speed settings, and has 12MB of Intel Smart Cache 50 percent more than the current Intel flagship desktop processor. At the recent Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, highly threaded games and digital content creation titles were shown, such as Ubisoft R.U.S.E, Sega's Napoleon: Total War, and Cakewalk Sonar Producer.
"Napoleon: Total War is based on our second-generation multi-threaded engine and the latest Intel Core i7-980X processor, allowing us to bring a more realistic user experience by immersing them more deeply in the heat of battle," said Mike Simpson, creative director, Creative Assembly Software. "We take advantage of the increased core count on the Intel Core i7-980X by adding greater animation detail to fighting units on both land and sea, allowing the game to have higher visual fidelity."
The Xeon 5600 processors are also the first server and workstation chips based on the groundbreaking, new Intel 32nm logic technology, which uses Intel's second-generation high-k metal gate transistors to increase speed and decrease energy consumption. The Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series supports up to six cores per processor and delivers up to 60 percent greater performance than the 45nm Intel Xeon processor 5500 series. In addition, data centers can replace 15 single-core servers with a single new one, and achieve a return on their investment in as little as 5 months.
Data centers will also benefit from the power efficiency of the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series. A two-socket server using the new low-voltage Intel Xeon processor L5640 can deliver the same performance as a server using the previous generation's champion; the Intel Xeon processors X5570 series, but with up to 30 percent lower platform power. For more information, see www.intel.com/performance/server/xeon/summary.htm.
"The Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series will be the backbone of mainstream computing environments," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group. "New security capabilities will boost the confidence of IT managers. Improvements in performance, server virtualization and power consumption will foster productivity and efficiency for a broad range of applications ranging from data transactions to workstations performing medical imaging and digital prototyping."

 Trend Micro today released Trend Micro Hosted Email Security based on a new platform which will create a new mission-critical service standard for what small and large customers should expect from their hosted email security vendors.
"We're listening to customers and they're telling us, 'Email is mission critical. Email security should be mission critical, too,'" said Eric Jensen, senior product marketing manager for Trend Micro. "With our new and improved Trend Micro Hosted Email Security, customers will receive 100 percent service uptime, 99 percent or better spam blocking and zero email-based viruses or money back. In addition, we're including our #1 rated anti-malware technology to ensure that customers have the very best solution to stop malicious URLs embedded in their email."
No Maintenance Required by IT Staff
In today's challenging economic times, IT staff and end-user employees are working longer and harder than ever. This is driving businesses to look at new ways to find more time in the day for their employees.
"According to our email best practices benchmarking, adding in hosted email security will typically reduce the time that IT staff must spend on email security maintenance by up to 75 percent (or more in some cases) versus continuing with on-premise email security only," says messaging industry expert, Michael Osterman of Osterman Research.
"Trend Micro continues to solidify their hosted offerings within their content security product portfolio with this exciting new release. All hosted services are connected to the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network infrastructure to give maximum protection against threats on a real- time basis," says John Maddison, senior vice president, Software as a Service (SaaS) and general manager, xSP Business for Trend Micro.
Always-Up-To-The-Minute Security Powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network Infrastructure
Trend Micro scans, filters and correlates more than 20 billion emails, Web sites and files every single day, and then leverages that data to rapidly identify and respond to emerging threats, and improve the existing response to known threats. The engine processing all this traffic across millions of customers, multiple products, and hosted and on-premise environments is the Smart Protection Network infrastructure.
As Trend Micro extends its business into hosted security, customers will benefit in real-time -- rather than having to wait for the next update -- as the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network engine improves its security response. Every new Trend Micro hosted security customer joins millions of other Trend Micro customers to help create better and better security to keep out the bad guys in real time.
What's new and different?
