LabVIEW on the Mac is alive and well - Macworld Expo 2008


Quicktime Version


National Instruments had a very small booth at Macworld Expo this year. They were there nonetheless and I asked them a few questions about the current state of LabVIEW on the Mac. I also wanted to find out how, and if, a current Windows user like myself could use a Mac exclusively and still manage to satisfy Windows based LabVIEW project clients. According to Mike Neil, LabVIEW product manager, you can have your cake, er… Mac and eat it too. With the use of virtual machines (vmware fusion, parallels) or bootcamp (which boots the whole machine into Windows), you can now run your windows development environment on a Mac and satisfy any Windows project requirements. Which leaves me asking myself, why am I still on a PC?

Interview with SBMS Teen Press at Macworld Expo

I went to Macworld Expo this year to learn about new technology and instead stumbled across three inspirational teens from Santa Barbara Middle School. They are part of a team of students that are involved with the school Teen Press program. They are currently covering Macworld Expo and in about a week or so will be covering the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
