Khyzyl Saleem stretched Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 N into a Group B-inspired rally car that looks ready to leave the tarmac and start hunting special stages. Saleem produced the renders for Hyundai USA as a follow-up to last month’s Baja Santa Fe concept, packing the already angular N hatch with period-correct 1980s rally aggression and a bodykit that completely changes its proportions.
Scottish rider Danny MacAskill has wanted to experience Norway’s granite slabs for years. This summer he gathered friends, pointed a camera crew north, and spent days on the rock around Narvik while the midnight sun hung in the sky and refused to leave. Bosch eBike Systems backed the short film that came out of that trip, titled Endless Light.
Fourteen years after touching down in Gale Crater, Curiosity is still finding surface details that stop its science team mid-plan. In mid-August 2026, during sols 4988 through 4994, the rover paused among layered rocks on the lower slopes of Mount Sharp and photographed a scatter of broad, shallow pits cut into bedrock. One of them, captured by the Mars Hand Lens Imager on the end of the robotic arm on sol 4989, measures about a centimeter across and, from certain angles, looks uncomfortably like a small footprint.
Amazon still sells an 8-inch tablet you can toss in a backpack or a carry-on and not treat like jewelry. Fire HD 8 in its 12th-generation line, priced at $84.99 (was $130), updated again in 2024, keeps the same 7.94 by 5.40 by 0.37-inch polycarbonate body and 11.88-ounce weight that made earlier versions easy to forget until you needed a screen. Black, Emerald, and Hibiscus covers have a light texture that hides smudges. USB-C sits on the edge next to a 3.5mm headphone jack that most newer tablets have already abandoned, plus a microSD slot that accepts cards up to 1TB, while dual speakers fire from the bottom in landscape.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro keeps last year’s aluminum frame, 8.75 mm thickness, and camera plateau almost unchanged, so first glance will fool most people into thinking nothing moved. Engineers did color-match the rear glass to the frame, killing the two-tone look that marked the 17 Pro. Burgundy shifts between deep red and purple with the light and has become the color most reviewers mention first. Glacier is a quieter light blue, Silver finally looks clean, and Black is the darkest Pro finish Apple has offered.
