This may just be a personal pet peeve, but I hate when the author neglects to explain what the hell they are posting about. I'm tech-oriented (are we not all reading slashdot?), but I have no clue what a GPU gem is? I don't feel compelled to go to some outside link just to discover what you are even discussing here.
