"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." In 1964, the Supreme Court overturned an obscenity conviction against Nico Jacobellis, a Cleveland theater manager accused of distributing obscene material. The film in question was Louis Malle's "The Lovers," starring Jeanne Moreau as a French housewife who, bored with her media-mogul husband and her polo-playing sidepiece, packs up and leaves after a hot night with a younger man. And by "hot," I mean a lot of artful blocking, heavy breathing and one fleeting nipple -- basically, nothing you can't see on cable TV.

Cincinnati Zoo has finally re-joined Twitter, after receiving an onslaught of abuse that forced it to delete its account for two months. And it is already getting more of it. The zoo was the home of Harambe, the gorilla, who was shot earlier this year after a child fell into his enclosure. And it was that event that eventually forced it off Twitter and Facebook. While it attempted to use its account to highlight other parts of the zoo, all of its post ended up being filled with replies making reference to Harambe and holding the zoo responsible.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is no stranger to risk. Fans of the company have called its leader savvy and visionary; critics and competitors have described some of his decisions as reckless. Reaction to Musk's latest move, announced on Wednesday, has been no different. His decision to equip all new Tesla vehicles with radar and cameras that will enable them to (eventually) drive autonomously--without human intervention--has been described as brilliant while others have called it dangerous. This is a speculator's game.

Anyone remember Rosie, the robotic housekeeper who petered around "The Jetsons" in the 1960s? "I swear on my mother's rechargeable batteries," she once joked, when asked by Judy Jetson to keep a secret. While we're still a few years away from a domesticated humanoid robot that can wash our dishes and make our beds, today's smart home products are designed to make your living space safer, more energy efficient, and easier to maintain. The following is a look at a few smart ways to bump up your home's I.Q. The maker of the first smart thermostat (in 2007) is back with an even more affordable model.

The practice of software development has created development methodologies such agile development and lean methodology to tackle the complexity of development with the objective of improving the quality and efficiency of software creation. Although Deep Learning is built from software it is a different kind of software and therefore a different kind of methodology is needed. Deep Learning differs most from traditional software development in that a substantial portion of the process involves the machine learning how to achieve objectives. The developer is not completely out of the equation, but is working in concert to tweak the Deep Learning algorithm. Deep Learning is sufficiently rich and complex a subject that a process model or methodology is required to guide a developer.

Elon Musk revealed the Model 3 in March, revealing details of the 35,000 base model including a sub-six second 0-60 time and a minimum 215 mile range. The basic picture of the Model 3 inspired a pre-order frenzy unlike anything seen previously in the car world, but now Musk has dropped what he referred to earlier as Part 2 of the Model 3 unveiling after a lengthy pause, as promised, and it's a doozy. Musk announced that all Tesla cars being produced as of today, including the Model 3, will have everything they need onboard to achieve full Level 5 self-driving in the future. The news means that every Tesla vehicle, including the Model S and X as well as Model 3 cars made after today will eventually be able to achieve full autonomous driving, with what Tesla refers to as "a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver" via nothing more than a software update at some point in the future. The hardware required to make this possible includes a sensor loadout complete with eight surround optical cameras, which can see up to 250 meters out from the vehicle on all sides, and a dozen ultrasonic sensors to assist the optical system.

Does it seem like your virtual personal assistant (VPA) knows everything about your life? Microsoft's Cortana can give you reminders, track packages, send emails or texts, keep track of your flights and even remind you to say happy birthday to your cousin next time she calls. According to Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, developers made deliberate design decisions with customers in mind as the company moves into the world of artificial intelligence (AI). "When it comes to AI, the fundamental vision I have is that AI will be infused into everything," Mr. Nadella said in the Mastermind Interview at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2016 in Orlando. "The currency going forward is going to be how to build trust in technology so that people and organizations are comfortable using more technology, and I think that's one of the pressing issues of our time," he said.

Over the past few years, cloud computing has been evolving at a rapid rate. It is becoming the norm in today's software solutions. Forrester believes that that cloud computing will be a 191 billion market by 2020. According to the 2016 State of Cloud Survey conducted by RightScale, 96% of its respondents are using the cloud, with more enterprise workloads shifting towards public and private clouds. Adoption in both hybrid cloud and DevOps have gone up as well.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already becoming entrenched in many facets of everyday life, and is being tapped for a growing array of core business applications, including predicting market and customer behavior, automating repetitive tasks and providing alerts when things go awry. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the use of AI will continue to grow quickly in the coming years, as explored in a new eMarketer report, "Artificial Intelligence 2016: What's Now, What's New and What's Next" (eMarketer PRO customers only). In its most widely understood definition, AI involves the ability of machines to emulate human thinking, reasoning and decision-making. A May 2015 survey of US business executives by Narrative Science found that 31% of respondents believed AI was "technology that thinks and acts like humans." Other conceptions included "technology that can learn to do things better over time," "technology that can understand language" and "technology that can answer questions for me."
