Since all PDAs and cellphones come with some sort of time function, the watch has been relegated to the fashion accessory division, losing its allure as a dignified timepiece. The new Aigo F029 aims to restore a little bit of lustre by introducing quite a long list of modern touches that are bound to get any tech-loving person salivating at the mere mention of its specifications and features. If you are currently in the market for a portable entertainment device of some sort, hold your horses and read more about the Aigo F029.

We wrote about the original Cube World people back in November last year, if you’re bored of the original characters you can now get Cube World Series 2 which brings you 4 new stick men to annoy interact with.

The new characters are:

• Handy - A bit of a DIY nut
• Dusty - A cleanliness obsesive
• Mic - A wannabe rock god
• Hans - A fitness freak

You can interact with them the same way as you did with series 1 and you can also join series 2 cubes to the originals to have a mass party or brawl.

Cube World 2 are available from Gizoo for £19.95 a pair.

LEDs are pretty sweet. They’re extremely bright, and require very little electricity, which means a very long battery life.

Some places just don’t have proper lighting (cabinets, garages, night) and instead of groping around, just grab one of Sylvania’s DOT-its. The DOT-it is a small, circular light that utilizes three extremely bright white LEDs for brightness.

This is like an adult version of Tamagotchi, the aim of the game is to bed your virtual partner (okay the aim is to keep him or her happy (and then get your cyber wicked way)).

Each device comes with 8 different potential mates, so if you get bored of one you can treat her mean in the hope of being dumped so that you can move on to your next conquest. Playing the game sounds pretty simple:

The more satisfied your virtual date becomes, the more points you collect and the longer the relationship lasts. Using the three control buttons you can select between gifts (anything from lingerie to deodorant), compliments (oblique or spectacularly blunt), places to go (the jewellers or to the bingo) or, if you’re feeling lucky, wild passion.

Available from Firebox (due to the risqué language this is not suitable for kids). Thanks to the biggest NY Giants football fan I know for the news.

Do you have kids that waste too much time playing video games or other electronic time-wasters? If so the Power Cop could be perfect for you. The Power Cop is a programmable power block which allows you to set a maximum amount of usage an electrical device can be used for before it is automatically locked.

The electrical device is plugged into the Power Cop, and the Power Cop is then plugged into the wall. Once the device is plugged into the Power Cop it is locked in and can only be unplugged by one of the two included keys so there’s no way to get a few extra minutes except maybe with a sledgehammer ;).

This is a similar idea to the very cool Laser Keyboard on Think Geek, but instead of being a qwerty keyboard it’s a musical one.

If you thought the wood block clock was cool but find wood is not modern enough to your liking then this may be more to your taste, the Mirror Block LED clock.

It uses the same technology and offers the same features (time and programmable messages) as the Wall Mirror Clock we reported on but this one just has that extra cool factor IMO.

It’s currently only available as a special edition so costs £600.00 ouch!

Affordable mass-produced fuel cells have been on the technological horizon for a while now. In the mid nineties there was talk of how we would all be wearing fuel cells on our belts to keep our cell phones charged. Now a Shanghai company called Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has introduced a unique miniature fuel cell car and hydrogen refueling station. It isn’t exactly the Tesla Roadster, but it does represent a step forward in fuel cell miniaturization.
