Apple is marking 25 years since unveiling the first iPod with a playful hidden feature on its website. A nonexistent music page now displays a fully interactive original iPod, complete with clickable controls, a draggable scroll wheel, and pre-installed songs from artists popular in 2001. Visitors can browse the device and play 90-second previews directly in the browser. The easter egg highlights the iPod's lasting cultural legacy even though Apple discontinued the product line years ago.

The iPhone Duo marks Apple’s entry into the foldable market, and its accessories are just as important as the device itself. Apple Pencil support arrives through a software update, while fast charging requires a capable power adapter. A MagSafe car mount, protective cases, and HomeKit cameras round out the practical add-ons. AirPods Pro 3 also make a strong companion for everyday use.

Zakura has proposed giving every ZEC swap through NEAR Intents its own viewing key. The goal is to prevent a public refund address from exposing a user’s wider payment history to future quantum computers. Spending keys would remain with users, while private information retrieval would help wallets find refunds without revealing which addresses they check. Compatible wallets could adopt the open-source feature within weeks, ahead of a January target for quantum-resistant Zcash payments.

A package of XRP Ledger bug fixes is set to take effect around 09:34 UTC on Oct. 23 after clearing the 29 validator votes needed for approval. The patch repairs code tied to a proposed uncollateralized lending system that remains inactive, with its lending and vault amendments sitting at 19 and 21 votes. It also closes a permissions loophole that could let certain accounts create tokens they were only cleared to destroy.

Crypto projects lost $1.18 billion to hacks in Q3, a 55% jump from the prior quarter, according to a blockchain security firm. About $900 million of those losses traced to compromised suppliers, developer tools, uninstalled fixes or components left outside security reviews. The firm warned that audit badges can create a false sense of security because reviews often omit wallets, signing systems and third-party software that attackers target. The findings suggest investors should look beyond audit logos and examine operational security.

An Anthropic AI model traced five unexplained seeds for NIST elliptic curves to an ordinary random-number generator using 1997 and 1998 timestamps. The result, produced in under 30 minutes, makes a hidden NSA backdoor less likely and requires no action from users of the NIST curves. Bitcoin was never affected because it relies on secp256k1, a different curve with little room to conceal a weakness. The longer-term quantum threat to Bitcoin remains separate and unresolved.

Google's Willow chip reduced errors in preparing magic states by about 40-fold, a key resource for advanced quantum calculations. The experiment achieved 99.99% fidelity among states that passed inspection, though only about 8% of preparation attempts succeeded. The result does not make a bitcoin attack 40 times cheaper, but it advances an engineering method that could matter for future quantum machines.
