Amazon placed a spherical device known as Echo Time with a 3.2-inch circular touchscreen on the nightstand and left the camera out entirely. The form sits low and rounded, finished in Graphite, Glacier White, or Coral Pink, with a woven mesh covering most of the body.
AMC Theatres just revealed its next round of sandworm popcorn buckets for Dune: Part Three, and the designs pick up right where the last one left off. One version features two sandworm mouths rising from a sandy lid so two people can reach in at once. Another extends a single longer worm higher above the container and adds a small working thumper that moves up and down while the popcorn disappears. Both come filled with a large serving and will sit on counters at AMC locations across the United States plus Odeon theaters in Europe.
Aston Martin revealed the Valhalla Spider as the open-top version of its mid-engined hybrid hypercar, capable of the same 217 mph top speed with the roof removed that the coupe achieves with the roof fixed in place. That figure makes it the fastest open-cockpit car the company has ever built, and the engineering team preserved nearly all of the coupe’s structural stiffness and aerodynamic balance while adding a removable roof system. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027 after a public debut at the Concours at Wynn in Las Vegas.

A commercial imaging satellite snapped China’s secretive reusable spaceplane from about 56 miles away in 2024, and the Defense Intelligence Agency included that view in an unclassified report released late last month. The picture shows a compact winged vehicle with its payload bay doors open and solar arrays stretched out from a rear service module, the whole assembly hanging against the black of space. Resolution reaches roughly 1.8 inches per pixel, clear enough to resolve panel lines and the shape of the delta wings. Earlier public images had been grainy telescope shots or brief lower-resolution frames; this one gives the first detailed public look at the underside and how the power systems are arranged.
