🦖 Colossal is building artificial eggs to revive giant birds
The company trying to resurrect mammoths just unveiled an artificial egg incubator — and it already hatched multiple chicks.
The end goal? Bringing back the giant moa, a 3-meter-tall bird from New Zealand that went extinct centuries ago. Problem is: no living bird can realistically incubate an egg that size.
So Colossal built a silicone-based artificial egg with a membrane that mimics real shell oxygen exchange. Scientists can even watch embryos develop in real time while testing genetic edits.
For now it’s chickens. Next: emus and ostriches. Then maybe… moa.
We officially live in a timeline where extinct birds might come back through biotech. 😶

😎 Google’s smart glasses are coming this fall
Google just revealed its Android XR vision — and the first smart glasses launch this fall. The first wave focuses on lightweight audio glasses, not full AR displays.
Powered by Gemini, the glasses understand what you’re looking at. Ask about restaurants, parking signs, or get live translation — all hands-free.
Google partnered with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker for the design, clearly aiming for something people actually want to wear all day.
And yes, they work with iPhone too. Looks like the smartphone is slowly becoming just the “brain in your pocket.” 👓

What's up with the Surface?
Microsoft refreshed the Surface Pro and Laptop. Same look outside, new Snapdragon X2 chips inside: graphics up 53%, up to 20 hours of battery, and OLED on the Pro now. Catch is, the price went up too — Pro starts at $1499, Laptop at $1599. And the keyboard for the tablet? Still sold separately)
Bottom line: faster, brighter, pricier. You foot the bill for progress)

What's up with Kodak?
Kodak dropped the Charmera Millennium Edition micro-camera — a straight-up portal back to the 2000s. Chrome body, fresh colorways, Y2K-aesthetic filters. Shoot like it's the year 2000 and you're waiting on the dial-up to connect) On sale June 16 for a laughable $35 — cheaper than a single gas fee during network congestion.
Bottom line: while everyone chases a chrome future, Kodak's out here selling a chrome past. And honestly? That might be bullish too)

What's up with the robot?
French startup Genesis AI revealed Eno, a home assistant robot that looks like Apple itself unveiled it at a keynote. Pure Cupertino aesthetic — even their head designer looks like Jony Ive) And no, it's not AI slop — the company swears it'll start shipping to real customers by the end of this year.
The price is still under wraps, but you can join the waitlist here.
Bottom line: while Apple spends years teasing its projects, the French just went and built a robot in their style. Minimalist, pricey, and without a single button — just how we like it)
