NDN can run over TCP/IP as an overlay. It can improve things without *replacing* them. It's well past concept stage and can be used by application developers. Give it a try !

a brief review of their documentation should shed some light. http://root.cern.ch/root/doc/RootDoc.html

For all interested in the future of Fermilab - here is a great local article:

among the highlights - they get the data from CERN in realtime, and can actually control the LHC remotely.

oh, and the buttons to stop & start the tevatron are pretty cool ;)

how about spelling things correctly in the title at least ? it's Fermilab. not plural. while there is a lot of stuff there - it is one lab. fnal.gov

These days html/css/js can replicate most of the animation & navigation & effects that people use flash for, and in a more SEO friendly manner.

IMO the only convincing argument to use flash is for audio & video.

as this library doesn't cover multimedia...

it doesn't cover flash's only responsible use case... So it's clever - but useless.

not a criticism... keep it up!!!
:D

opencv has nice python bindings, runs on mac, win & nix.
openframeworks wraps c++ like processing wraps java, also has opencv bindings.

MS appears to basically doing optical flow & color tracking. the above libs can do those, and more, and are great for programmers and nonprogrammers alike. tho if you really hate code, you may rather use max/msp/jitter or gem/pd.
