Detailed information

====================

Made by Zeno Sloim.

Based on Alfredo Morresi Webcam Holmes 1.0 released as freeware in 2007.

I already done a similar program called Zeno Webcams Romania 2009-12-20.

I decided to make a new updated version, where I separated Canada Ski webcams from Romania webcams.

Why?

I was born in Romania, many of my old comrades (computer engineers - both hardware and software developers) from Technical University of Iasi, emigrated to Canada finding a new life. I choosed to emigrate to Sweden.

Many times I wish I had choosen Canada instead, hence my sentimental affection to Canada: wonderful wild nature, Shania Twain music, among others.

That is why I decided to update and enrich the program called Zeno Sloim Canada Ski Webcams 2011 v2.0 build 2011-02-04.

It contains over 100 network cameras from Canada's most wonderful ski resorts with fantastic beautifully nature and mountains.

The idea is to offer in a mobile form, a direct visual experience of wonderful places like:

Banff Sunshine Village, Big White, Canmore, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Lake Louise, Mount Sutton, Mount Washington, Nakiska, Norquay, Red Mountain, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Whistler Blackcomb - Blackcomb Mountain,

Whistler Blackcomb - Horstman Glacier, Whistler Blackcomb - Whistler Mountain, Whistler Blackcomb - Whistler Peak.

I want to express my gratitude to those canadian sites who host the included cameras.

I decided to make 2 versions, one in which all cameras have a refresh rate of 1 second and an other with refresh rate of 60 seconds, depending on the data-plan you have with your mobile provider, to minimise costs and reduce to minimum the data traffic. Of course you can adjust the refresh rate individually for each camera after your own needs.

And here I want to mention that all canadian webcams owners (sites) have adopted a fair policy by making easy to see and update, either on a pc with fast internet or on a mobile device/phone with data-plan. No annoying pop-ups, aggresive advertisements or malware to make you pay a lot for the data-traffic.

Complete different situation when it comes to Romania.

Most webcams are hosted on sites with enormous quantity of pop-ups, aggresive advertisements, malware embedded in webpages, lots of prompts to install obscure ActiveX Controlls to be able to view a camera.

It seems that most romanian sites have teamed in a shame league with mobile operators to maximize completely the data-traffic, to make unfair profits on those wishing to see webcams hosted in Romania, as well as promoting aggressive dubious advertisements and malware. In a word, it's a pain for a normal user to watch romanian webcams.

Lots of pop-ups, advertisements, seem these sites have teamed up with romanian mobile operators to maximize their profit and rising your data-traffic to peaks - shame on them.

I was asked why not developing for Apple and Iphone? I gave a clear answer: I do not agree with the gready aggressive commercialism of Apple, I do not agree with their restrictive politics for developers, which is not because of their

effort for securing the consumer, but for maximising Apple's profit. I will never develop for Apple.

I remain devoted to Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 - 6.1 platform, which is the last one offering maximal security and privacy for the user/consumer. Neither Windows Phone 7, neither Android or IOS (Apple) offer enough resources for

privacy, own security and freedom of choice to choose what to install without being "controlled" by Big-Brother.

No other concurrent platform to WM6-WM6.1 has such a widespread offer of real serious software and not junk as is on the so-called Android market or Apple Apps.

For those still aware of their personal integrity I recommend: stay to WM6/WM6.1.

Avoid Windows Phone 7, avoid Android and avoid any Apple product.
