AMD launched Activate!, an interactive Web site primarily targeted for children ages 13-15 that enables kids to easily design and program video games. Activate! was created by PETLab and funded by a $77,000 AMD Foundation grant in support of AMD Changing the Game. AMD Changing the Game helps strengthen programs that improve children’s critical science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills and encourages kids to become more globally conscious citizens by developing digital video games with social content. Activate! contains tutorials for making games, example games for users to play, and will feature a gallery of user-generated games. Activate! leverages the publicly available Game Maker software program to help create the games.

Magento Inc. unveiled Magento mobile, a new product that addresses the growing need for merchants to reach consumers through mobile devices. Magento mobile integrates with PayPal’s mobile payments library for iPhone, iPad and Android, delivering a seamless mobile payments experience.
Unlike other mobile-commerce solutions which simply re-theme a merchant’s website for mobile browsers (mobile Web), Magento’s product transforms a retailer’s product catalog into a fully-functional, branded, native application which merchants can use to interact and transact with their most valuable customers in a way unlike any other channel.
“Mobile is the next frontier for commerce,” said Roy Rubin, Magento’s CEO. “We expect our new m-commerce product to bring the same level of scale and innovation to mobile as our e-commerce platform did for the Web.”
