There were two interesting announcements from Intel this week: the first was on a new pair of Smart glasses from Oakley, which imbed voice command/response to create a more useful digital trainer, and the second was on a huge spectrum of smart jewelry, accessories, and shoes all designed to make you healthier. Given that we are often pounded for not eating right or exercising enough this is a good thing, I think, but I also wonder how much nagging we are going to take before we chose to become nudists? While the virtual reality (VR) scene has been a bit on the quiet side lately, some noteworthy news has emerged that may well address one of VR's biggest issues, and may mean major gains for Facebook, and, by extension, Oculus itself. News of a new wireless prototype, known as the Santa Cruz, has emerged and suggests that VR development isn't through yet. While the topic of augmented reality (AR) has made headlines for some time, Snapchat - or newly named, Snap Inc.'s - recent launch of its Spectacles is the latest product to give rise to mainstream speculation for the traditionally slow to adopt technology. The smart eyeglasses, capable only of recording video at this time, clearly represent forward movement in the eventual acceptance of AR eyewear. Add to this the widespread adoption (20 million users in the U.S.) of the AR-driven Pokemon Go mobile game phenomenon that invaded smartphones in July, and it's clear that an appetite exists for "shiny and new." Undoubtedly these consumer tech trends will swiftly be exploited to drive AR technology in the enterprise. If you believe all the hype around 5G - and there's plenty of it - it will deliver multi-gigabit, low latency broadband to mobile devices. That "mobile device" may look like an automobile rather than an actual phone, but it's hard to say exactly what users are going to get when the smoke clears. Regardless of the final speeds, 5G is going to force the entire network from edge to core to get an overhaul - otherwise what's the point of 5G in the first place? SpaceX CEO and nerd-god Elon Musk put forth his architecture for mankind to colonize Mars and potentially other bodies in our solar system on Tuesday, September 27. As Musk stood in the spotlight describing a huge rocket to transport up to 100 people at a time to Mars, Blue Origin started talking about its own potential to move beyond the Earth. Last week, Yahoo confirmed at least 500 million user accounts were compromised by a data breach in 2014. The attack was the largest security breach ever disclosed to the public, revealing customers' names, email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and, in some cases, security questions and answers.
