I came across an interesting lecture series. This lecture is a 10 part video on youtube and happens to be the last lecture of Randy Pausch, who has terminal Pancreatic Cancer. In short, "truly inspirational" and have not seen something like this in long time now. The link below is to 1st part, But you can find the rest by clicking on incidental links on Youtube site

Furthur exploring, discovered ALICE about whom Randy talks about in the lecture. You think LabVIEW should tie up with ALICE to become a fore-runner for teaching programming to Students?
Fo what it is worth ALICE looks like a cool toy to play with!

As far As browsers go, I use Maxthon. But then it is a preference. I like the "Undo" feature on Maxthon a lot. I have all three browsers on my Computer. But look at the stats http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp Firefox has made great inroads. Based on Stats it seems mainstream to me. But there is something new and better around the corner. Maxthon has 30% share in China and may be the fastest growing browser today.
Visit http://www.ni.com/labview/ and read the short intro of LabVIEW. If you are not a scientist or Engineer Stay away...!!

Well there it is, isn't it? You think free is about the right price and I expect to pay what something's is worth. Hmmm, perhaps that's why I'm not using JAVA.....<OK, that's a joke>The thing about "free" is it works. If you want to become mainstream, that is the fastest and sure way to do it. The issue is "If you want to become mainstream".
Here are few classic cases of how free has proven itself.
1. IE Vs Netscape (IE is the most used Browser today)
2. Firefox Vs IE ( Firefox has mad great inroads against IE)
3. Microchip Vs Motorola - Among other factors, Microchip makes their IDE available free and Compiler is also free albeit without any optimization. You pay $500 for that. But for students, startups and hobbyists, it is most welcome and 10 years later Microchip PIC is the processor most used in world today. Mototorla, TI have caught on make their IDE free with some limits on code size.
4. Cell Phones. The market realy exploded when the cell phone was free with an year long contract. Before it was languishing. In south-east Asia to lure customers, they have incoming calls free!!
5. Email - Same thing
6. Java - the free thing helped it.
I believe in few years you will see
Free Phone service - If you buy Data & Video, Voce is the minimal user of Bandwidth. It is in place with VOIP. But needs some maturity. IPTV will bring it more mainstream.
So For Labview. If a version is available, where you can run a samll program (Say 50 Subvi's of some Size), It would now start getting mainstream. People would download it and use it. If someone decides to make a product or use it in a system they will then have to buy it. The whole point of intorducing activation since 8.0 is that. Except dont cripple it after 30 days. Make sure they can use it in some limited way.
I would like to see LabView go mainstream and there is no better way to do it then indoctrinate the masses. As churchill said "Nothing Succeeds like Excess"

Here is an example of a Time Stamped Chart in an Application which is put on intranet/internet using the Web Publish tool from the menu.
Download File:post-1417-1107377568.vi
To see the bug do the following.
1. Make sure Web server is active on known open port.
2. Ensure that you have saved the Htm file for the vi.
3. Run the Vi and let it run for 10 minutes or so.
4. Connect from another computer or even the same computer using remote panel URL in the browser
You will see that the time stamps on the chart on server does not match the Browser time Stamps.
Reported this to NI with acknowledgement of the Bug and that it has been referred to R&D
If any one has a Work around, It is greatly appeciated.
