I’m sorry but I just couldn’t stand some claims like: “Phong shading is never used in interactive applications because of it being computationally too heavy”… :)
Fortunately she gave me the opportunity to give everyone a small technological update. :D
After about a month, my presentation was born.
Made entirely with LaTeX Beamer, VIM, Dia and GIMP, it deals about what modern GPU are capable of, showing some GPGPU applications, along with traditional ones (videogames :D ), and some shader examples together with commented code.

I discussed it yesterday in a couple of hours, I was all shook up at first but then I advanced smooth and plain. ;)
It is in Italian, of course, but I published it anyway: Le Moderne GPU.
