I have to admit it - I'm a real pushover for a sweet demo. Now by demo, I mean something "real" and not faked up, polished and hokey. We used to joke about demos from a certain company that they would show off in their keynotes, but underneath was just a Visual Basic prototype. No [...]

...and just how do graphics software developers keep up with all the action going on today?

Pity the poor executives of the recording industry! It's a medium which owes its very existence to technology. But it's also a medium which has had its business model tortured beyond recognition by technology. Consider the recent release of the album "Ghosts I – IV" by Nine Inch Nails (NIN).
