Hyped: The Week in Links 7/22

Busy week? Here’s some things you may have missed.

Another week of your life gone and it saw the end of the space shuttle program—but you can take solace in Carl Sagan’s sentimental musings. This week also saw the end, sadly, of painter Lucian Freud’s life. Influential techno seer Marshall McLuhan would’ve been 100 years old yesterday, had he still been with us. And also, in case you missed it because you fell down a well or something, the city of Kunming in China is home to three fake Apple stores. So expertly done, even the employees are convinced they’re real.
