Well, we're back from Singapore. And did we ever bring back the goods.

Strap yourself in and have a read through our fascinating interview with David Nalasco -- AMD/ATI's graphics guy. Then submit it to Slashdot.

We've also got another reason for you to hit up Atomic more often. We've got more tech news coming in from from overseas. You can get to it from the front page.

Also: check the bottom of this week's newsletter. There's a Microsoft competition that will send you to its Remix 08 conference and win you loads of kit.

We do it 'coz we know you love it.

-DAVE.
