Google announces Google Chrome operating system
Google has announced that it is working on an operating system built to run the Google Chrome web browser. Google Chrome OS will be aimed at x86 and ARM based netbooks initially and built with a simple, lightweight architecture based around a Linux kernel running a “new windowing system” which in turn runs a version of Google Chrome. Dubbing it “our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be”, the company said that the new operating system should be shipped to consumers in the second half of 2010, but will be available as open source later this year.

Indy 10 compilation script for Delphi 2009
A very useful batch file created by Antonio Estevez is available in the Delphi forum at
https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=130770
It creates all the files needed for both Delphi and C++ Builder (debug and release version). Before running the file, you must assign (at the top of the file) the actual paths to RAD Studio and Indy10 source files.
Very useful for all who frequently download fresh Indy 10 versions and prefer DCU files to increase compilation speed.
