For years at the Game Developer's Conference, AMD's event looked like a visit to your poor relatives. In the midst of huge presentations by AMD's competitors they'd typically have a small, dingy room where they could show their wares. Well this year was massively different, AMD came to play and they are clearly excited about riding the VR wave. With a host of who's who supporters on stage, AMD is moving to be the player expected to cause a massive game revolution. Call it a mobile payments idea for the Kardashian age: why not use selfies for payment processing? Amazon thinks it's the way to go: The e-tailer is looking to patent the ability to authenticate a payment using a selfie. Popular online entities like Facebook, Google and Snapchat continue to advance the security they deliver around their services and capabilities, and while that's typically good news for their customers, it may be a mixed blessing overall. There's no question that wireless networks are on the verge of obsolescence if they don't innovate.

In the latest Ericsson Mobility Report, 28 billion connected devices are forecasted by the year 2021, more than half of which will be machine to machine (M2M) and IoT connections. And that, along with consumer video traffic and bandwidth-hungry rich media apps, is driving wireless operators to look to LTE advancements and 5G to help them prepare for future network demands. And indeed, car manufacturers obviously represent the fastest path to rollouts (no pun intended) at scale, especially if the conversion technology works as advertised. But other first-movers are pushing the market into higher gear as well, including Tesla, Lyft rival Uber and Google. Google's cars, with safety drivers aboard, are now self-driving a combined 10,000 miles per week, which is about what a typical American adult drives in a year. It expects its driverless cars to hit the road commercially in about five to 10 years. GM could leapfrog rivals to be commercial in two to three years. Avaya is taking a page from GENBAND and Kandy in an effort to stay relevant in a rapidly changing communications environment. The PBX leader this week announced a new Avaya subsidiary called Zang Inc. to offer a communications platform as a service that can enable companies to quickly bring real-time communications to a variety of applications and to introduce new stand-alone applications.
