Details like patch pockets, working buttons, and a clean pointed collar keep things classic, while the unlined construction makes it easy to throw over a tee or polo as temperatures shift. Machine washable and designed for a true-to-size fit, it's a straightforward staple that slots easily into a daily rotation without feeling like an afterthought.

It might look like baby steps, but for robotics, it's a giant leap. Boston Dynamics shows their Atlas robot walking over uneven ground with small footholds — something almost comical to watch compared to the ease with which a human could perform the same feat. But while Atlas might be slow now, this small step puts humanoid robots even closer to an every-day reality.
Written by James Gunn, employees are forced to turn on each other after an unknown voice informs them they have to start taking out their coworkers.

McGinley, and Michael Rooker, the film's slated for release March 17, 2017.

Minimalism meets performance in the latest lineup from ADYRO, a collection of sneakers designed to rethink the link between price and perceived quality. Built with a focus on engineering over branding, each pair delivers a clean, understated look with the comfort of performance footwear, weighing in at just 9.6 ounces per shoe without sacrificing structure. A patent-pending Y-Lock-Fit system lets you dial in the fit once and slip them on effortlessly, keeping the silhouette streamlined by concealing the laces. Underfoot, a flexible FULLFORM outsole pairs with an Air-O-Sole cork and TPU insole to provide breathable, all-day comfort. The result is a quiet shift toward practical luxury, where the value is in how the shoe performs, not how loudly it announces itself.
Pocket tools rarely feel this considered. The MetMo Titanium Pocket Driver takes a design dating back to 1871 and refines it into a compact, modern ratchet built from Grade 5 titanium for serious strength without the weight.

A quick-release handle keeps bit changes fast and intuitive, while the precision-machined construction gives every turn a deliberate, mechanical feel. It is less a throw-in-your-drawer tool and more a pocket-sized piece of engineering that earns its place in your daily kit.
