The Rubik's Cube's Secret Life as an 8-Bit Work of Art

Pantone Rubik's Cube: Color Matching For Nerds
If pouring over color swatches at Home Depot leaves you overwhelmed, the Rubitone could make the process easier by helping to assess your options in a form that nerds can understand. Unlike a traditional Rubik's cube, the object here is not to solve it, but to match colors that might look good in a bedroom or living space. The problem is that Rubitone is only a concept, so my walls will just have to stay plain and white for now. [Rubitone via Boing Boing Gadgets] -

Rubik's Mirror Blocks: The Cube Taken to New Dimensions of Trickiness
Check out this new variation on Rubik's Cube: instead of colors and symmetrical cubes, this beast has all-mirrored surfaces and a bizarre asymmetric rectangular block setup. As you twist it, the blocks poke out in different ways, and it's these cues you're supposed to use to solve the puzzle. Bloody hell, it looks hard...the box itself seems tricky. Apparently it's due for release in Japan soon for around $20, but there's no word yet on when it'll bring its fun/screams of frustration/puzzle-induced headaches to the US. [Technabob] -

Question of the Day: Do You Still Play With Toys?
After diving into the disastrous effects having a toy collection can have on the love life of a grown man, I feel compelled to ask: are you an adult that still plays with toys? And, just to be clear, when I say "toys" I am referring to products normally reserved for children—like action figures and legos. If you do, make sure to list your favorites in the comments. More » -

Rubiks Cube Alarm Clock Puts a Twist Into Telling Time
If this were just a simple clock shaped like a Rubiks Cube it would be cool. Throw in the ability to twist the top row to switch between time, temperature, alarm and date modes and it becomes awesome. Plus, it is priced at an affordable $24.98 and you never have to endure the shame of being unable to solve it. [What on Earth via GeekAlerts] -

Rubik's Cube Security Gadget Looks Too Complicated To Be Useful
Could you imagine if you had to solve a Rubik's cube every time you had to access your email? Your Google Groups friends would call you up in about a week wondering if you died. Cheng-Li Hung thinks differently, and designed up this rather cool-looking (and slightly simplified) Rubik's security system. To secure your computer, just set up a color combination that only you know. "Solve" the cube for your color combo and you're back in. You can even set a time limit so people can't just guess. Neat idea, but it's too impractical to work. [Yanko Design] -

Build Your Own Rubik's Cube Subwoofer in 164 Easy Steps
Well, maybe not "easy" steps—after all, it took designer Zachary Paisley 80 days, some serious manual labor, $1586 in total build costs, and a whole lot of math to put together the world's first Rubik's Cube-shaped 15-inch Direct-Servo Subwoofer. I think you will agree that the results were worth the effort. Naturally, when something this cool comes along, we pick the brain of those responsible. You can check out a full interview with Zachary after the break, along with a gallery of the build, and a link to his instructions on how to make one of these for yourself.

Rubik's Cube Coffee Table Makes Your Apartment "Cool"
Personally, I've never been a fan of the Rubik's Cube. That's probably because it makes me feel like a complete moron, and I just end up peeling the stickers off and replacing them so it looks like I completed the puzzle. What can I say, I have no scruples. More » -

Rubik's Revolution: Crapping All Over 2 Classic Games
Imagine your two most beloved childhood games. Now imagine them mating and producing a deformed child. That is what the Rubik's Revolution is—the deformed love child of the classic Rubik's Cube and color/sound game, Simon. They took all of the puzzle out of the Rubik's Cube by not allowing the blocks to rotate. There are supposedly six different color and light games that the Rubik's Crapolution can play, but they are all pretty much the same thing: sound matching, color matching and pattern matching. Thanks for defecating all over my childhood, Rubik's Revolution. Jump to see a video of children, who obviously don't know any better, actually playing with the toy. More » -
