The community of voice actors always seems quite small, especially in the world of video games. There’s a few actors who seem to lend their voice to everything. Voices that have become iconic.In that group, there’s a name that stands out among all the rest. With a credits list that is quite literally the length of my arm, Courtenay Taylor has become a staple in gaming. Her roles have been some of the most memorable in recent years. She’s played characters in every major franchise to date, with the exception of GTA.  Starting in 2002 with American Idol, her career has spanned galaxies and apocalypses. She’s voiced 83 titles across dozens of franchises, topped off with live action work, commercial voice over work, and personal appearances. She is a juggernaut. At SDCC 2015, I was blessed to have 15 minutes of her time.

In one version of the story of Uber’s origins, founders Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp created the service out of frustration with San Francisco’s transit systems.  The city where the future is built can be quite difficult to get around in.  Public-transit systems are outdated; there never seem to be enough buses or trains at rush hour; and hailing a cab on the street has been an unreliable proposition.  Decades of policy efforts have not been able to improve the experience of getting around as much as Uber has in a few short years

The world of mobile never stops moving, and one of the most important drivers of mobile’s continued evolution has been the constant improvement in wireless connectivity. This has been dramatically improved with the advent of 3G and LTE, but LTE is starting to see its limitations, and we are starting to see a need for LTE-A or LTE-Advanced, which utilizes an important feature called “carrier aggregation” to increase speeds. Think of carrier aggregation as combining multiple, smaller bands of spectrum into one bigger band. Carrier aggregation is quickly becoming the next step forward for 4G connectivity and operators around the world have deployed or are testing their networks to deploy LTE-A networks with carrier aggregation. This presents an opportunity for smaller operators to compete with their larger competitors in speeds and smaller OEMs to beat their larger competitors to addressing the need for devices with carrier aggregation. Unfortunately, carrier aggregation hasn’t quite taken up everywhere around the world equally.  In fact, U.S. carriers AT&T, Sprint Corporation, T-Mobile U.S. and Verizon Communications are lagging a bit in carrier aggregation deployments which is odd given the U.S.’s early lead in LTE.
