Cubic Timer Counts Down With the Roll of the Die
This cubic timer is pretty cute, but given its fun design quirk (it counts down from whatever number is on top), it's limited to only four different lengths of time. This is why timers don't usually look like dice. More » -

MintPass Cube Remembers That Analog Rocks
Before the rise of Napster and AutoTune, we had drugs and rock 'n' roll. Remember how great those were? More » -

Apple's Simplistic iPod Marketing Trumped by Competitor's Shamefully Blatant Sexuality
Short of physically inserting the waterproof Cube H100D into an open orifice, I can't imagine this ad for the Chinese PMP being any more suggestive. [imp3 via Le Journal du Geek] -

Seekway 3D LED Cube Amazes in Glorious Color Phasing Fashion
Seekway has put together this spectacular 3D LED display, which is capable of displaying images in full 3D (duh) at an amazing, 30 fps. The prototype consists of a 16 x 16 x 16 grid of interconnected color LEDs and if our mathematics doesn't fail us, that's 4096 individual diodes. We're sure you'll agree; it looks amazing, but the video is even more fantastic, so jump in. More » -

Magic Cube Heralds the Future of Gaming and Human Interfaces
Nobody really knows what the future of human interfaces and gaming will look like, but Andrew Fentem—who went from working on classified missile systems to developing multi-touch human interfaces, kinetic surfaces and motion sensing technologies before almost anyone else in the planet—gave us a fascinating vision on where we are headed in this exclusive interview. Work like his Fentix Cube, a motion- and touch-sensing cube which can play Pac-Man among other games, have all the big companies taking notes. The videos speak for themselves. More » -

Crapgadget Column Actually Full of Cool Stuff
Engadget's got a new column called Crapgadget meant to take the piss out of goofy electronics, but I think the examples they've picked are gadget-weirdness at its finest and deserve some defense. There's something inherently entertaining about a USB Microphone disguised as a rose, a rechargeable speaker cube the size of a golf ball; they're original, test new boundaries in gadget usage, and they're the epitome of the softer side of usually sterile technology. Plus, like a building block, they take creativity to use. That Rose would be a great gag in a singing video podcast, and that speaker could end up dangling from an iPod Shuffle as a little boombox. Maybe I'm wrong, but you know, like double-oh-negative, I'm just Goony like that. [Rose Mic USB Cube via Engadget] -

Mobiblu Nanum MP3 Player Converts From Cross to Cube
Mobiblu's known for their six-sided Cube MP3 players, but this Nanum is the first one we've seen that actually deconstructs from a cube into a cross. We're not sure what good having a flat cross-shaped MP3 player would be, but these things are seriously tiny. Tiny. Peep the gallery after the jump to see it photographed next to objects that you're familiar with. Seriously, it's so small that we can see someone being able to choke on it. More » -

Catching Up With iPhone Campers at the 5th Avenue Apple Store
The Apple Store has closed its doors, marking the home stretch for the 5th Avenue iPhone hopefuls. The line's swelled to nearly 240 people and has been penned in and condensed to keep the prospective customers from blocking the other storefronts that share a space with the Cube. Even still, it has curled around yet another corner of the building. We've walked up and down the line and found quite a few Gizmodo readers in the mix. More » -

11 Hours Remain for Manhattan Campers
Remember that line at the 5th Avenue Apple Store we showed you last night? Well, it's gotten a little bigger. Now about 130 people long, the line grows at a steady trickle–single campers, pairs, and groups pass by as we write this. It's overcast and a little chilly, though the temperature is estimated to rise into the 90s before these folks see their iPhones. Check out the gallery for some of the creative sleeping solutions.

Storms Ahead for The Brave 40 on 5th Ave
We've seen some comments asking for more details about the action on 5th Avenue. Well here it is, as requested. At the fore, of course, is the man who by now needs no introduction. Greg Packer was incredibly amiable, talking to anyone who approached him. He even paused for a moment to let us snap the photo above. Though he has been the highlight these past few days, he's joined by about 40 others who are also camped around the Apple Cube, wrapping around the corner at 5th Avenue and 58th. More »
