  4. Graphics Processing Unit (A lame name, in my view, but a processor which is specialised for graphics and rendering operations)

  5. Cool - I used to ask an interview question based on drawing a circle - wish I'd thought of using a paintball gun.

  8. It's late, I'm jetlagged (or at least dozy from so much plane food), and my laptop is having far too much trouble assimilating holiday photos for me to click on the link - but that Mona Lisa Overdrive reference is going to seriously bug me until I find out what it is.

    Incidentally, currently reading William Gibson's latest, and it's as good as ever.
