Editor's Note

There's some quality reading on Atomic this week. Lie a history of the keyboard, and how AV cables carry signals, which I simply can't recommend enough.

If you're looking at studying anything at Uni, be aware that the first round of entries to UAC close soon. If you're interested in studying IT, there's a UTS information evening on pretty soon -- check it out on the Atomic Events calendar.

Finally, a quick something I discovered today: Trying to teach non-tech people about the benefits of GPGPU is hard. Really hard. There's a link to CUDA on the front page if you don't already know why GPGPU is awesome.

-DAVE.
