Amazon spent years selling Fire tablets as cheap doorways into Prime Video and Kindle. Yesterday, the company set that approach aside and introduced three devices that carry the Alexa name instead: an 8.7-inch model from $229.99, an 11-inch model from $329.99, and a 12-inch Pro from $499.99. Orders opened the same day. Shipments in the United States, Mexico, and Canada start October 14, with the United Kingdom and several European countries following on October 19.
Citroen just opened the order books in Germany for the Ami Outdoor, a special edition of the boxy electric two-seater that has been scooting around European side streets since 2020. List price starts at €9,690 including tax, the rough equivalent of $11,000, before delivery and plates. A lease is offered at €65 a month over 36 months after a €1,350 payment up front, with a yearly allowance of 5,000 kilometers. Dutch pricing sits at €9,940, about €1,190 above a plain Ami. Belgium has matched the German figure for private buyers through the end of October. Wider European availability is expected after that first wave. In Germany the car is sold online only.
On March 4, 2024, a radio array in South Africa caught a flash that lasted only a few milliseconds and then vanished. MeerKAT, working with the MeerTRAP search system, logged it at 00:50 UTC and gave it the name FRB 20240304B. The pulse arrived stretched and delayed by free electrons along the path, with a dispersion measure near 2,458, a peak of about half a jansky, and a scattering time of 5.6 milliseconds at 1 gigahertz. Those numbers already hinted that the source sat far beyond nearly every localized burst on record.
Most people treat a phone that looks like it lost an argument with traffic as scrap. LastComputer paid about forty dollars for one anyway. The listing came to 1,700 Ukrainian hryvnia, and a carrier lock kept the price down because nobody was going to drop a SIM in it again. This Samsung Galaxy S23 arrived bent in half, back cover smashed, battery squished, and still willing to boot.
JAS Motorsport finally showed the finished Tensei on October 8, 2026, after months of drawings that only hinted at the shape. Thirty-five cars are planned, each built near Milan from a first-generation Honda NSX and finished to the buyer’s order. Pininfarina signed the body. The name is Japanese for rebirth, which fits a car that still reads as an NSX from across a lot and then refuses to match the 1990 original once you walk closer.
