Apple left a short video sitting inside the latest macOS release candidate, and someone found it. The clip lasts only a few seconds. A man wears a pair of AirPods that look thicker than the current Pro model. He holds a book up in front of him. A calm Siri voice explains that Visual Intelligence can save what you see. Just ask, and the title of the book is logged for later.
In 1963 a kit of red and white polystyrene plates, stiff metal rods, rubber bands, and short plastic tubes sold for $4.99 ($54.45 today) and assembled into a working digital computer. Three small windows on the front face displayed binary digits as either 0 or 1. A white lever marked “Clock” stuck out from the right side. Pushing that lever fully inward and then drawing it back out advanced every calculation by one step. No batteries or power cord were required. All motion came from the user’s hand and the tension stored in the rubber bands.
Ken Okuyama, the Japanese designer who shaped the Ferrari Enzo during his years at Pininfarina, brought a new open mid-engine car to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 16. Named Kode89, it arrived after a quiet run on the Tour d’Elegance a few days earlier, with Okuyama himself at the wheel. The car marks twenty years since he set up his own studio and represents the first time his company has built a complete vehicle around an original chassis rather than adapting platforms from Lotus, Ferrari or Lamborghini.
