Jon Prosser’s latest Front Page Tech (FPT) lays out the most complete picture yet of what he calls the iPhone Ultra. He presents it as a book-style foldable that arrives this September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, and positions it as the clear premium model of the year. Base iPhone 18 and Air models wait until later, with two color options being offered at launch: black / grey, and white / silver.
Original NES controllers still feel right. The click of the D-pad, the springy A and B buttons, the solid rectangular shape that fits perfectly in two hands. Most of them now live in drawers or boxes. Logic Gate Labs decided one of those controllers could do more than sit around. They gutted a standard NES-style gamepad and packed a complete retro gaming system inside it, complete with a screen, speaker, storage, and enough power to run dozens of 8-bit games plus a slow but playable version of DOOM.
NASA handed Stone Aerospace a $175,000 check in July 2026 to fund a nine-month research on a hovering robot that would have the opportunity to explore one of the Moon’s most intriguing features. The proposal is named the Lunar Underground eXplorer (LUX), and it is based on power-over-fiber technology.
Hennessey Special Vehicles just pulled the covers off its third hypercar, and this one plays by a very different set of rules. Named Blackbird and shaped by the Lockheed SR-71 spy plane that once owned the skies, the new car skips turbos, hybrids, and digital screens in favor of a high-revving American V8 and a gated six-speed stick. Production is capped at 71 examples, each starting at $2.5 million before taxes, with customer deliveries planned for 2029 and 2030 once Venom F5 production winds down.
An old laptop that had served for more than six years suddenly shut down mid-game and refused to power on again. Its owner, the LEGO builder known as Koenkun Bricks, recovered the hard drives without trouble and found them intact. Rather than scrap the machine, he decided the screen still had a future as a second monitor for his desk. The plan was simple on paper: free the LCD panel, give it a proper controller so it could accept a standard HDMI signal, and enclose everything in LEGO so the whole unit could tilt, rise, and spin as needed.
