By Bill Smith November 12, 2026

Fifty years after the original Star Wars film hit theaters, LEGO has turned the artwork that first sold the galaxy far, far away into a large wall display built from bricks. Set 75467, the A New Hope Movie Poster, recreates Tom Jung’s famous Style A one-sheet from 1977 as a three-dimensional piece meant for adult fans. It measures more than 23 inches high, 16 inches wide, and about 2 inches deep, with 3,209 pieces total, and carries a price of $299.99 in the US, £269.99 in the UK, and €299.99 in Europe.

Blackmagic’s Ambisonic Microphone Packs 108 Sensors Into a Palm Sized Sphere for True Surround Sound

By Bill Smith November 12, 2026

Blackmagic Design has introduced a microphone that resembles something designed for a film set rather than everyday production work. Its faceted metal body forms a compact sphere that fits in one hand or mounts easily atop a camera, with 108 tiny digital MEMS sensors set flush into the surface so nothing protrudes. Those sensors gather sound arriving from every direction at the same time, covering the full sphere around the device including overhead and underneath.

Jensen Huang Steps Down After Building NVIDIA From Near Collapse to Artificial Intelligence Powerhouse

By Jackson Chung November 12, 2026

Jensen Huang stepped away from NVIDIA on Thursday after 33 years as its co-founder, president, and chief executive, with the board accepting his resignation effective immediately and removing him from the board as well. Colette Kress, the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer since 2013, agreed to serve as interim chief executive while continuing her finance role until the board names a permanent successor through a search that will consider both internal and external candidates. Harvey C. Jones, a longtime board member and former chief executive of Synopsys, became the company’s first-ever chair of the board. NVIDIA said operations, customer commitments, and its product roadmap would continue without interruption, and the company still plans to report its quarterly results next Tuesday as scheduled.

By Jackson Chung November 12, 2026

Huawei executive Richard Yu shared a short clip on November 10 that staged a simple magic trick with the existing 18-inch MateBook Fold. He slid the larger machine into a paper envelope, folded the envelope once, and pulled out a noticeably smaller device whose outer face already carried a lit square panel. That device is the MateBook Fold S, a more compact folding computer that opens to a 14.7-inch screen and is scheduled for pre-order in China two days from now.

A red 1987 Chevrolet Corvette convertible sits in a warehouse in northern Illinois for years, looking like any other C4 from the outside. Then someone opens the hood. Silver boxes marked high voltage fill the space where a V8 once lived. A Motorola Automotive logo sits right on top of one. Stacks of internal documents, wiring diagrams, and hand-drawn schematics come with it. This is no kit car. It is a fully engineered electric prototype built in secret by a small team at Motorola in 1993.
