    I think there is a quick typo that affects the way this reads:

    “NVIDIA announced this morning that they are not accepting applications for its ninth annual NVIDIA Fellowship Program. ”

    should be:

    “NVIDIA announced this morning that they are now accepting applications for its ninth annual NVIDIA Fellowship Program. ”

  2. It’s certainly more news-worthy your way. Thanks, Jeff.

  3. No sweat. Normally I loathe the “typo-police” but I thought this one might be important 🙂 I recently got caught in the same kind of slip recently. No harm, no foul.
