The $64.99 Sole Series Pack upgrades OtterBox’s durable and grippy Sole Series smartphone cases with adjustable crisscrossed bungee cords on the back. In addition to protecting your iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, it can also be used to carry other everyday essentials like lip balm, gum, or your keys.

The Broadway adaptation of Schmigadoon!, originally an Apple TV series, picked up four awards in yesterday’s Tonys, off the back of 12 nominations, completing Apple’s unexpected set after recent Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar wins. Not bad for a computer company.

The mayor of Shelbyville, Indiana, potential home of a proposed $2 billion data center, says he only sees signs opposed to the project “in shitty houses.” As ever, there’s a Simpsons quote for that.

The 2D animation software is currently limited to iPhones, iPads, and Android devices, but now a version for Windows and macOS is “coming soon.” A one-time purchase model will likely be available given Callipeg currently charges $14.99 for the mobile / tablet version. My animation buddies are justifiably buzzed.

The audio streaming platform has reportedly approached concert promoters to obtain licensing rights to show live video of music festivals, and has already starting to add some live event videos, including a show Dua Lipa hosted in Mexico City. Last month, Spotify announced new tools for reserving concert tickets.

NASA’ trailer for its Artemis III mission is sick as hell. How could anyone not be hyped for this crew?

And honestly, at this point, a huge loser. (Before I even tell you what this is about, just buy our tee, it’ll look great on you.) The guy’s latest comments on Scott Pelley’s firing would be contemptible even if he were just a random online troll. So it definitely sucks that he’s the FCC chairman.

The National Gallery of Art’s social videos are outrageously Gen Z — and excellent. (They even won a Webby.)

Computer magazines, “programs” (not apps), Amiga, Acorn, and so many unnecessary Dutch angles. This clip from the BBC’s Computers Don’t Bite is ‘90s to its very core.

Check it out on YouTube — we’ll be watching, too!

It’s the first film of 2026 to rake in more than a billion dollars, and on a budget of only $110 million. It’s unlikely to be the last movie to cross that threshold this year, however, with two Marvel movies and Toy Story 5 on the horizon.

Both Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are Xbox console exclusive titles, a phrase we haven’t heard for quite some time given Microsoft’s multiplatform push. “These are not timed exclusives,” says Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire editor-in-chief. “Games already announced for multiplatform releases will stick to that plan – we’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond.”

We’ve been waiting to hear more about inXile’s new steampunk RPG, and during the Xbox Games Showcase today we finally got a rough release window: 2027. Clockwork Revolution will also be an Xbox console exclusive, just like Gears of War: E-Day.

Recently-fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has some words for the clowns now running CBS. “It would have been so much better if Bari Weiss had been offered this job and said ‘Oh, that’s not for me; I don’t know how to do that,’” he tells the Times. The full interview is worth your attention:

The event kicks off at 1PM ET. Once the showcase is over, it will transition directly into a presentation focused on Gears of War: E-Day, which is scheduled to launch sometime this year.

”You might see some characters from the game pop up,” Michael Sarnoski told IGN, but don’t expect a straightforward adaptation of the games. He’s working on revisions to the script with Hideo Kojima and A24 right now and said:

First reported by Medpage Today, police in New Orleans pushed out medical experts at an American Diabetes Association meeting for the grave crime of… distributing an editorial that was critical of the Trump administration’s war on science. I’ve stopped being able to keep score on the actual censorship happening in this country.

Yes, and he wasn’t the only deceased figure to make an appearance in the “Tupac & Cast Reveal Trailer,” at last night’s event. It also featured the likeness of Bunta Sugawara, a legendary Japanese actor who died in 2014.
