Flipping the two-inch screen open is all it takes to start recording with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, priced at $399 (was $499). That simple motion turns the camera on and gets you rolling in about two seconds, whether you hold it upright for vertical clips or keep it horizontal for wider scenes. The screen itself rotates freely and stays bright enough to read outdoors at 700 nits, so framing a quick walk-and-talk or a family moment never feels like a chore.
After long evenings spent designing mechanisms and calibrating movement, a New Zealand engineer named Bruce finished a system that mounts directly onto an ordinary acoustic guitar and turns digital tablature into live string vibration. He calls it MegCell Pulse. Two coordinated robots handle the work of human hands. One presses the strings against the frets. The other plucks them with six individual plectrums. The sound that reaches the room is the actual instrument speaking, complete with the body resonance and the space around it.
A single customer handed Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team a nearly new 2018 911 GT2 RS with the Weissach package and asked for something that had not existed in decades. The result is the Flachbau RS, a factory one-off that stretches the front of a modern turbocharged 911 into the flat, purposeful silhouette once reserved for the most extreme racing cars of the late 1970s.
High in the Swiss Alps, frozen lakes hide risks that surface checks often miss. Snow piles up, presses the ice sheet down, and new layers form on top. Thin spots or cracks stay invisible until someone or something falls through. For more than a century people have cut holes by hand, measured with tape, and hoped the ice held for skating, racing, or simple crossings. In 1907 St. Moritz turned that hope into spectacle with skijoring, horses pulling skiers across the ice. The tradition continues, yet the dangers remain. In 2017 a crack swallowed horses during an event. Manual surveys still demand hours of chainsaw work and firefighters on standby, and they only sample a few points while ice thickness can change across short distances.
Keys sneak into couch cushions, wallets slip behind desks, and luggage disappears from the airport carousel. For years, Android users saw Apple’s AirTag handle routine disappearances, while Google delegated the task to third-party devices. That gap was bridged this week. Google developed its own finder, the Pixel Tag, a small oblong tracker designed to travel alongside the items people really lose.
