Editor's Note

Guitar Hero: World Tour is here. It's got drums. It's got loads of original tracks. It's $330. And it kinda sucks. Find out why below.

Tim Dean has written some fantastic stuff about what Intel's research and development arm is up to, and the results of my massive test of twelve power supplies have gone online. Open the spreadsheet as read only and see how the best fared against Big Willy.

You won't find this on the site (yet), but BarCamp is on this weekend. It's a computing conference where anybody can jump in and speak on any topic they care about.

I'll be giving a talk on Human Computer Interaction and interface design -- and if a little project of mine goes according to plan, you might be able to watch it and the other talks live on Atomic. It all depends on how much ActionScript I can learn and debug between now and the end of the week. No promises, but stay tuned.

Have a good one,

-DAVE.
