Today's Story Highlights

Zuckerberg Launches Remodeled Messenger
CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday launched the company's new Messenger
platform beta at its annual F8 conference. The Messenger announcement
was the first major initiative in the long-term vision he presented.
Zuckerberg outlined a major push to incorporate AI and bots into the
Messenger platform. "Messenger is going to be the next big platform for
sharing privately," he said.

Samsung's AR Vision Includes Smart Contact Lenses
Samsung has been granted a patent for a smart contact lens, according to
news reports published last week. The lens is equipped with a tiny
display, a camera, an antenna, and sensors that detect movement and eye
blinks. Eye blinks would provide the input, and a smartphone would be
needed to process images. A user blinks to take pictures or interact
with data displayed on the smart contact lens.

Robust New FreeOffice Suite Proves Free Can Be Just as Good
SoftMaker's FreeOffice Linux office suite is a LibreOffice look-alike
that provides strong performance compatibility with Microsoft Office
documents. SoftMaker offers a line of open source offerings that compete
with its commercial suite. It's a Windows/Linux cross-platform office
suite with integrated applications for word processing, spreadsheets,
presentations and email management.

Ford After Dark: Self-Driving Car 'Sees' All
Ford on Monday announced that it has been testing its Fusion Hybrid
autonomous research vehicle with no headlights on remote desert roads at
night. While such a task would be quite perilous for a human driver, it
was an important step in developing a fully autonomous vehicle, the
company said. The test vehicle relied on LiDAR technology for
navigation.

Learning to Love Virtual Reality
At Nvidia's technology conference, I saw a variety of new technologies
showcased. From deep learning systems -- computers that arguably are
smarter than we are -- to self-driving cars that can drive better than
we can, the technological advances on display made me feel just a tad
inadequate. One way to get over my sudden concern over obsolescence was
to check out the virtual reality showcase.
