Delphinoy Unveils Big Plans
Today, Embarcadero unveils big plans for Delphi and here at Delphinoy.com, I am also unveiling big plans.
The last post of this site was January 26, 2010 exactly 8 months ago as of today. Delphinoy, yours truly, is busy with a lot of things in the past 8 months.
Some of the changes that I’m planning to implement are:
1. Post at least twice a week ( I hope) or at least regularly.
2. Post more technologies update.
3. Post some tips on Delphi. I know that there’s a lot of tips out there already but I’ll post only those that I’m using in my own projects.
4. Post other news on software development areas.
5. Create a separate page for job offerings.
Promote and generate more buzz to this site. Join me in this new phase of Delphinoy.

The First Tweet From Outer Space
Sending a tweet is no longer just within the boundary of Earth. On Friday, a NASA astronaut made an history by sending the first ever tweet from outer space.
T.J. Creamer, a Flight Engineer broadcast the following message directly from the International Space Station:
“Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! 
More soon, send your ?s”
The historical tweet from the Space Stations was made possible when NASA upgrade their software . The upgrade rolled up gave Space Station astronauts direct access to the Web. Prior to this, tweets from astronauts had to be e-mailed down to Earth, then later manually posted ground-based workers.

Wifi Webcam
My wife and I’ve been looking for a good WIFI webcam for a long time already. Most of the available webcam in the market are either needs to be connected to a PC or on a hub. These are what you call IP cams.
Although there are existing Wifi webcams already in the past 4 years with built-in webserver, they are either bulky or the video rate is slow.
Thanks to technology companies that keeps on improving this small but important gadgets, the latest Wi-Fi video cameras have come a long way.
The latest Wifi webcam from model WIFI-CA100 is exactly the webcam that my wife and I planning to buy. It has the all features that we are looking for. It lets you monitor your home, kids, business establishments, or anywhere requiring remote video transmission and supervision.
MODEL: WIFI-CA100
This Wifi webcam can directly access the Internet unlike standard “webcams” that require an attached PC.
Great Features Include:
- It has a PAN rotation of 270 degrees and can be tilted up to 120 degrees.

Facebook Privacy Going Public
If you are into Facebook, I think you seldom read the changes on their privacy policy.
Facebook is making big changes to its privacy settings that may mean millions of people begin to expose information that they previously considered to be restricted to only their Facebook friends to the entire internet.
According to Facebook definition of terms, "Information set to 'everyone' is publicly available information, may be accessed by everyone on the Internet."
Also, "The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on Facebook is set to 'everyone.'
Facebook is aiming to get people to be more public on the site and that anyone who hasn’t changed their privacy settings will now see it “recommended” that their status updates, photos etc. be exposed to “everyone” – to the entire internet.
If you make your information available to “everyone”, it actually means “everyone, forever”.
You are free, of course, to change that setting.
If you’ve never edited your privacy settings before, Facebook will set the new default on the “transition” page to share all your posted content with everyone.
Only 15 to 20% of Facebook users have ever changed their privacy settings before, so 80 to 85% of people will now be switched by “recommendation” to share their content with the whole web.
There’s a real danger that people will go along with Facebook’s recommendations without considering carefully the possible consequences.

Choosing the Right Windows 7 Version
Just like any other previous Windows OS, Windows 7 will offer in many different flavors. For a mere mortal, choosing what version to use 
seems confusing. Don’t let the versioning scare you. Microsoft is a bit lazy this time. They are releasing 12 versions for Windows 7 against 18 on its’ Vista (Microsoft orginally planned to release more versions for Vista like the Itanium vresion but they cancelled).
Below are the versions for Windows 7
- Windows 7 Home Basic
- Windows 7 Starter
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
- Windows 7 Home Premium N (European Union Only)
- Windows 7 Professional
- Windows 7 Professional (x64)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Windows 7 Enterprise (x64)
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
Which version are REALLY available to the consumers?
Let’s further shorten the list on what version are really available for the regular user.
- Windows 7 Starter (32-bit or x64)
- Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
- Windows 7 Professional (x64)
- Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
Windows 7 Home Basic is only for new PC purchase in emerging markets. This will be unheard in North America and Europe.
Windows 7 Starter this is primarily for low end, budget PCs like netbook which will be sold worldwide.
Window 7 with N and K were produced for European Union and Korea market. This is to appease the anti-trust rules and
regulations on those countries.
Windows 7 Enterprise is for corporate users, available through corporate volume licensing subscription programs.
Windows 7 Ultimate functions like Windows 7 Enterprise except it is available at retail for new PCs (out of the box) and as stand-alone.
32-bit or x64?
The difference between the two is a bit technical in nature. To simplify, I suggest leave 32-bit word behind and transport your virtual world to to 64-bit(x64).
Windows 7 are still fully compatible with most if not all 32-bit software EXCEPT for some netbook computers that come with a version of Intel’s Atom processor which are not compatible with x64 instruction set.
The no.1 reason to step into 64-bit is BIG Memory! Windows 7 can use up to 192GB of RAM (it depends on version), compared to 32-bit version which can access to less than 4GB.
Intel and AMD are now both producing x64 platform. 64-bit is now the mainstream PC platform. With the increase of memory capacity and decreasing price, there’s no other way but to embrace x64 version.
