Welcome to this Monday Morning issue of the Atomic Newsletter!

There's a lot of stuff here, so take your time going through it. I'd recommend my bitter-sweet love letter to Adobe. But before you jump in to all the delicious content, we've got an announcement to make.

We've got another Atomic Live: Forum going on in mid-March for all you Queenslanders! It's at QUT, is on the future of PC Gaming, and we've got speakers from Microsoft, Samsung, Asus and AMD lined up and ready to entertain.

Nick Hodge from Microsoft is going to be giving a presentation, and if his Tech.Ed presentation on LOLcode was anything to go off, his talk at Live: Forum should be awesome.

We've got limited spaces, so register here! It's free, there's tech, there's funnies and the drinks are on us.

See you there!

-DAVE.
