NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Resignation Steps Down
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.

Huawei Matebook Fold S Folding PC
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.

Motorola Secret Electric Corvette

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.

AeroKoi Modular 3D-Printed Train Whistle
Steam locomotives once announced themselves with layered chords that carried farther than any diesel horn ever managed. AeroKoi spent months reverse-engineering that exact resonance in plastic, and the newest version shrinks the entire instrument to three inches across so a standard shop compressor can actually keep up. Earlier four-inch Santa Fe and Northern Pacific replicas demanded so much air that only a large tank could sustain more than a quick blast; this smaller modular design lowers that appetite while adding the ability to reshape the notes themselves.

BYD Yangwang U9X Speed Record Production Car
Marc Basseng guided BYD’s Yangwang U9 Xtreme down a closed stretch of highway outside Abu Dhabi on November 1 and held the throttle long enough for the car to reach 503.17 kilometers per hour, or 312.65 miles per hour. That single pass made the limited-run electric hypercar the first production vehicle ever to clear the 500-kilometer-per-hour mark and earned it two Guinness World Records along with official recognition from the FIA.
