Apple has introduced a new Apple Music logo that resembles a musical note floating beneath rippling waves. The design was produced using practical effects: the logo was etched onto the glass floor of a small tank, filled with mineral oil, and a transparent cover was placed over it. An instrument played a short series of tones, causing the oil to ripple, and the resulting footage was filmed. The project was a collaboration between Apple, music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics, with the goal of translating sound into a visually striking wave.

The Penguin showrunner and executive producer Lauren LeFranc is reportedly in talks to join the new Poison Ivy‑focused television series from Warner Bros. and DC Comics as a producer. The project is being developed by Warner Bros. and DC Comics, with LeFranc’s involvement still under discussion.

SpaceX plans to launch its 15th Starship test flight in November from Starbase in South Texas. During an earnings call, Elon Musk and COO Gwynne Shotwell said the company will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy first stage and the Starship upper stage on the same flight, a maneuver that would land the vehicle back at the launch site over land, including northern Mexico. Shotwell noted that the FAA license for Flight 15 will cover the return‑to‑launch‑site and tower‑catch requirements. After this test, SpaceX intends to refly a Starship upper stage early next year and conduct a Starship‑to‑Starship refueling demonstration in early 2027 to validate orbital refueling for lunar missions.

The state originally awarded two hundred nineteen point five billion dollars, but the judge reduced the fine to twenty‑five billion dollars. Interest will accrue at fifteen percent annually until the fine is paid.
