If you’ve been following any of our Twitter feeds (@bby_community, @bby_comunidad, @bby_communaute) you’ve probably already seen the announcement that Best Buy now has a gadgets and e-readers section.  And if you haven’t, guess what?  Best Buy now has a gadgets and e-readers section!

Out of all the gizmos on the site the one that amused/confused/transfixed me the most was the electronic, touch-sensor Rubik’s Cube.  I have a hard enough time dealing with the old-fashioned “manual” versions as it is, so needless to say this little wonder got quickly added to my “I love the idea, but do I really want to punish myself by purchasing it?” list.

Perhaps the reason I was initially drawn to it was the fact that it’s a new twist on a relatively old product.  Then again, maybe it was the “Smart Coach” function that helps you solve the puzzle step-by-step.  Who would I be kidding though?  It’s because this Rubik’s Cube will scramble and solve itself while charging in its stand…

Curious?  Check it out here:

About the Author
  • Computers, video games and TVs have always been fascinating to me. Not only are they wonderful ways to relax, but they’re also immensely useful as tools. Computers allow us to communicate instantly with family members across the country through e-mail, video games allow us to make friends with people across the globe we wouldn’t even meet otherwise, and TVs allow us to see what’s happening in our very own towns…all at the touch of a button. Sure, over time I’ve managed to assemble a collection of other electronic gadgets that would make most people do a double-take, but that just isn’t enough. I want to know how they work. I want to know why they work. I want to know that I can connect every electronic device in my home into a single, fully-functional network that I can access from over 1,000 miles away at the drop of a hat. Not because I have a reason to do so, but because I can. I am a geek, plain and simple.
