I am in awe of this breathtaking color nerdery.
Sometimes the internet delivers you a portal to a world in which someone is deeply overthinking 24 packs of crayons and like, hell yes. Hell yes.

Lady Gaga, Polaroid. Alicia Keys, BlackBerry. Nick Cannon, RadioShack. And now, Paris Hilton, X.
We haven’t updated this timeline of ill-fated celebrity “creative directors” for tech companies in several years, but something about today’s calorie-free Paris Hilton / X announcement really cements my belief that we’re just reliving 2015 on the internet in every way.

Look at this gorgeous digital piano designed to teach kids how to play.

The company claims it sounds like the real thing and that it’s the only piano at this price ($229 for early backers) with actual dynamics in the keys. Also, it has a USB-C port. More details and a video on the Kickstarter page.

The Google antitrust trial is still maddeningly locked-down.
It is frankly shameful that Judge Amit Mehta still hasn’t ruled on opening up access to documents in this industry-shaking trial, let alone made it clear when any of the trial itself would be open to the public. Today, Apple’s John Giannandrea testified in closed court while reporters waited outside with no communication from the court at all. Ridiculous.
