Morro screenshots leak...Here are some more exciting Morro images

I like leaks and exclusive news as much as the next guy, but I'm having a hard time getting worked up about this particular one.
It's no secret that Microsoft's follow-up to One Care should be making an official appearance sometime soon, but an anonymous tipster has already provided NeoWin with three screenshots. Three really, really boring screenshots: pre-update, during update, and the green "I'm happy you just ran an update" screen.
More awesome: Brad's screenshot from Google maps of Morro, the beach in Brazil. Or this vintage photo of some men digging clams at Morro Beach in California. Heck, here's a whole bunch of Flickr results from Compfight.
Granted, an antivirus app doesn't need to be exciting to be awesome, but let's see if something with a bit more substance turns up. Like a torrent containing the pre-release - which we all know is coming, amirite?

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Is it me or does Microsoft badly need an icon update?
Well there's that and yeah, the design is super-bland.

Knowing M$ the pre-release torrent will cause less problems than the final product. And YES, they do need and icon update and they need to remove that annoying BSOD feature....

You guys do know that "Morro" is the Spanish word for a kind of castle, right? I don't really know the English term but a Morro was a rock castle built to protect sea ports from pirates, very common in the caribbean. Hence El Morro in Puerto Rico and Cuba. I doubt it has anything to do with Morro in Brazil.

Sure did, Ray...But it's not as easy to find photos of "morro" labeled castles as it is places called Morro ;)
I just wanted to share some slightly more interesting photos than the leaked shots.

Forgot to add.....in that context the icon makes perfect sense.
