Tech meets style: "Clueless" app partners with Public School

Here's a news article synthesizing the provided source material:

Fashion tech company Alta, inspired by the movie "Clueless," is expanding its styling tools by partnering with the brand Public School to integrate these tools into websites, according to TechCrunch. The company, founded by Jenny Wang, raised $11 million in a round led by Menlo Ventures last year. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech announced the finalists in its annual Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, and a new device called the Pocket Taco is available to turn a phone into a Game Boy, The Verge reported.

Alta allows users to create digital closets and virtually try on clothes using AI innovations, similar to the technology seen in "Clueless." The company's funding round last year included investments from models Jasmine Tookes and Karlie Kloss, Anthropics VC arm Anthology Fund, and Rent the Runway cofounder Jenny Fleiss, TechCrunch noted. Wang spoke with TechCrunch during New York Fashion Week about the company's expansion since the funding round.

In other tech news, Georgia Tech's Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, now in its 28th year, invites inventors to submit new instrument designs for a chance to win $10,000 in prizes, The Verge reported. Finalists include a "henge made of fiddles" and a "chaotic evil triangle."

Also, The Verge reported on the Pocket Taco, a $35 controller that clamps onto a phone, allowing users to transform their device into a Game Boy. The controller can also be used as a standalone wireless gamepad.

In addition to these tech developments, The Verge also reported on Jikipedia, a clone of Wikipedia that turns the data in Jeffrey Epstein's emails into detailed dossiers on his associates. Entries include known visits to Epstein's properties and possible knowledge of his crimes.

Finally, The Verge reported on a powerful tool of resistance that is already in people's hands. According to The Verge, the tool is also a potent tool of state power.
