Hi Everyone.  Thanks for your rabid support of this contest and of Scope Month!  We're going to announce winners Wednesday after taking Monday & Tuesday to analyze and weed out votes.  Thank you so much for trusting us and sticking with the voting.  I promise that we will take care of Carlos regardless of the outcome.  Your support of him speaks volumes.

Have a good weekend, I'll be back online Monday!

P.S. I started a new thread for Scope Month feedback that I'll compile and present to the team here.

Here it is:

Confused

That is a caching service that bungled up the HTML. 

April 20th seems so far away!!!

This chart is the most revealing of all:


It clearly shows in the initial few days sizes of the competitors main social network reach. Carlos and Nilu were almost identical every day, David K. much less.
Then carlos is relatively flat and consistent as people drop off and he attempts to find new avenues to promote, but never much above his original social network reach.
Nilu on the other hand suddenly had a 500% increase in social reach toward the end, and other big peaks of a few hundred percent, where did they magically come from?
David.K was even higher!

The most depressing thing is she's going to be rewarded for her fraud and face literally zero consequences for it

At her age who knows what affect that's going to have on her. not good in my book, not good at all

I'm seeing the graph just fine.  Maybe it's a screen resolution thing - what resolution are you running?

[SeanB]

Nope, it is broken, goes to an error page.

[Brumby]

How's this:?

sorry, I meant in daves post. In your original post your attachments show up fne, but in dave's post where he tried to embed the attachment url like a direct image url it showed up like this

(it might actually be showing up there for you because it's your attachment and you have it cached, not sure)

showed up great in your post above though! sweet sweet data

[Brumby]

Ah, OK.  I see what's happened.

I'd made an error in the title box of the original chart (it said 12 hour sample range, but it was actually 6 hour) so I fixed up the chart and modified my post, removing the wrong image and adding the right one.  Unfortunately, before I had done this, Dave picked up the URL for the full image from the wrong one.  When I changed the image, the forum software obviously deleted the original, so the link was broken.  I could still see it because it was still in my cache.  Once I cleared my cache I, too, was unable to view it.

Mea culpa  Apologies.

[Fohdeesha]

No apologies necessary! You have put some serious work into these charts for our viewing pleasure and it's done Carlos a huge favor - thanks again!

What's this spredfast.com thing, is this some sort of mockup? 

[Towger]

What's this spredfast.com thing, is this some sort of mockup? 

No. It is the voting system used by Keysight.
I don't know why that link says David K is the winner.  Here is a link to the actual voting: https://promotions.spredfast.com/service/v2/canvas_builder/load?id=56aa85e6e2df421243741c60&document=1&channel_id=113698&distro_id=56b24014e2df4218097db8a5&token=&orientation=vertical

[Brumby]

What's this spredfast.com thing, is this some sort of mockup? 

I'd say Yes.

The site would be genuine, but I believe it has a facility where you can build your own design - the "canvas_builder" part of the URL - and that's what someone has done ......

[continuo]

Weird 

And who is this guy, he wasn't on the vote page as far as I remember

[Brumby]

Don't know - and, you are right, I didn't see him on the voting page either ... unless he was added some time after the start.

[continuo]

Mmmm... They have the same page in Chinese (Korean?) language:

Maybe it is time now for David to put some Champagne into the fridge, just in case 

edit: OTOH, it could also very well be Keysight's virtual box of coal bricks

[ProBang2]

Perhaps it would be (as a safety precaution) a good idea to send a medical emergency rescue unit to carlos home?
Just in case.

It would be tragic: Get the scope - and then - Heart attack...

[Carl_Smith]

I wouldn't say Carlos is out of this race yet.  We'll have to see what happens when they look at the votes closer.   And what happens when Keysight sends the winner all the tax forms to fill out.  Maybe when they realize they could owe $20000 in taxes they will decline the prize.  And it sounds like whatever happens Daniel has something planned for Carlos.  I'd be surprised if they gave up another $70000 oscilloscope for him but it sounds like he might get something.

[nctnico]

I promise that we will take care of Carlos regardless of the outcome.

That is great!

This guy - Daniel...I like him already. Gonna keep him around. 

Seriously though, I am thankful that Daniel has been a part of the conversation. He has added a warm, human element to a large company that would otherwise feel cold and unapproachable. I certainly have every reason to believe that they are smart and reasonable people behind him and it will result in a reasonable outcome. My opinions, of course, are hugely biased to the point where they may be totally meaningless. With that said, I think they should send a jet to pick me up, take me to a meeting in Paris so that we can discuss the finer points over some very expensive dinner. After  that I can stay in the Keysight corporate castle for a week with my wife and children as we tour the countryside in a helicopter.

If that is too extravagant, maybe just an email or two to work out the mailing address for delivery of a custom Keysight embroidered tracksuit as an 'Honorable Mention':

[ProBang2]

Who had said Carlos is out of this race yet?

But for Keysight it is now in every way difficult:
For everyone with knowledge about this thread it would be a bad reputation for KS to honor such a scam.
For the others it would be a bad reputation for KS, if they don´t give the scope to the obvious winner: A 16 year old girl, involved in a school project.

Therefore I wouldn´t say it is impossible that KS donate a further scope, the "EEVBlog-Forum-Special-Award".

Somehow I have a good feeling about this...

[continuo]

If she is only 16 yo she can't get the scope anyway - you have to be at least 18 yo to be eligible for this contest... 

But until the official verdict isn't in, there's still hope for anyone of the top contenders...

[ProBang2]

You are right. At least she looks like 16...
