From the editor's desk: new writers and a new build log
Hey, folks. It felt weird to re-use Scott's "Etc." tagline in posts like this one. We'll probably find another, wittier name for these behind-the-scenes updates with time, but you'll have to cope with my unimaginativeness for now.
You may have noticed a new writer in our news section over the past couple days. Eric Born is one of the candidates for our staff writer position, and he's working with us to get a ...

GPUOpen initiative gives devs the keys to AMD's graphics black boxes
A couple weeks ago at AMD's Radeon Technologies Group Tech Summit, Nick Thibieroz, senior manager of ISV engineering for the division, told us about what the company perceives as major problems for developers on the PC these days.
