The Jellio Rubik's Cube Table ($600, left) looks just like the real thing: a tribute to the '80s. Despite its authentic looks, it actually doesn't twist, which doesn't fly well in my book. If I'm going to own a table that parades as a functioning Rubik's cube, I'd at least prefer one with a more palatable palette, like the Generate Ruby Cube ($399, right).Like the real thing better?

If your man is a Rubik's Cube whiz who has everything, the Barneys New York Rubik's Cube ($195) could be a fun Valentine's Day gift for him. Made of leather and chrome, it's much more stylish than the '80s original and will give his messy desk an instant face-lift. I can already hear you scoffing now, and you're right: The original costs less than 10 bucks.

We use the term geek around here fast and loose, as it's kind of become a catch-all phrase for passionate techies, gamers, and gadget lovers everywhere. It's not necessarily a synonym for nerd anymore — necessarily. Unless you were a geek who could put a Rubik's cube together!

I can barely solve a rubik's cube with my hands, so the thought of trying to line-up colors with my feet is totally out of the question! Definitely not the case for Anssi Vanhala of Finland who won the feet-only challenge at the Rubik's Cube World Championship in Hungary this past weekend. Want proof?

The first time we witnessed a Rubik's Cube Cake it featured three square facelets tilted on their axes, providing a complicated "Rubik's Cube in mid-solution mode" feeling. Today I offer you a less intricate, but larger and more colorful Rubik's Cube cake created as a birthday treat for a self described geek by his mother. I adore the textured icing and rich color choice and love the fact that instead of doing a freestyle icing job she used a real cube as a model.

Why, a bodybuilder wearing an overstretched thong while shaking her non-flabby tush for a couple of drummers and simultaneously solving a rubik's cube with her own two hands-- that's what! There is no rhyme or reason to this, until she flashes a message at the very end. Then it all makes perfect sense.

Rubik's Cubes have undeniable geek cred. Maybe it's their retro appeal, maybe it's the fact that they require some added brain power, or maybe it's simply the fact that they're bright, colorful and fun.
The Color Cube Speaker doesn't have rotating Rubik's Cube functions, but it does use a similar color scheme and touts the same fun factor.
