South of Tucson, in a stretch of Arizona desert that looks like any other patch of scrub and sun, a plain concrete entrance leads straight down into one of the most complete remnants of the Cold War. This is Complex 571-7, the single surviving Titan II missile site preserved exactly as it stood when the last crews walked out in 1987. Everything else from the original fifty-four sites was destroyed or buried. Here the underground command center and the missile itself remain untouched.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman laid out Apple’s revised plans in late May. The company has pulled resources away from any quick sequel to the Vision Pro headset. Those efforts now feed a different project, one that aims for store shelves sometime in 2027. The device carries the internal name N50. It will not project images into the lenses. It will not offer the full mixed-reality experience of a headset. Instead, the glasses will serve as a direct companion to an iPhone, much the way AirPods or an Apple Watch extend what the phone already does.
Brux found a GameCube controller keychain at Backpack Buddies, one of those tiny plastic copies that moves and feels much like the real thing. Most people would simply clip that thing to their keys and forget about it, but Brux was intrigued. Imagine if he disassembled it and turned it into a fully functional GameCube controller rather than just a souvenir.
Swedish designer Love Hultén accepted a private commission with an unusual request. Turn the flat triangle from Pink Floyd’s most famous album cover into a guitar that someone can actually pick up and play. Hultén already held a reputation for instruments that borrow strong visual references and then make them functional. Past projects include synthesizers shaped like Darth Vader helmets, compact keyboards styled after old game hardware, and other pieces that treat electronics as three-dimensional objects rather than hidden components. The new instrument, called the Magicos-2, continues that pattern while answering a direct challenge: keep the prism shape intact and still deliver real musical response.
Weighing just 54 grams, the XTRA Atto, priced at $288.99 (was $449), clips onto a hat brim or shirt collar in seconds and begins turning ordinary movement into steady 4K footage. Its magnetic system makes attachment feel effortless, whether the goal is helmet-point-of-view shots during a ride, a pet’s daily perspective, or simple hands-free clips while walking trails. The camera stays small enough that most people forget it sits there after the first few minutes.
