Check out this amazing Space Invaders clock. Space Invaders may have been released about six years after Pong, that doesn’t mean that this Space Invaders clock uses newer technology than the Adafruit Pong Clock that has been circulating.

The two clocks actually share the very same guts inside, but the Space Invaders clock has updated firmware. This is one of the coolest Space Invaders clocks we’ve seen. I’d wake up to that. The fight between man and alien never looked so cool.

The safety of your children is one of your top concerns as it should be. So you have to have booster seats in your vehicle, to keep your kids buckled. But it’s a hassle when the kids aren’t using it. What do you do? You make the kid carry it with them, that’s what.

When they arrive at their destination they can just take it with them as part of their backpack thanks to the BoostApak, which comes with a hard plastic shell for kids aged 4 to 11. It’s ergonomically designed to “protect growing spines and encourage better posture.” Not sure we believe that since it is a backpack.

If you feel that reading something that looks and feels like a bound book is better than a Kindle, then this may be up your alley. 1Cross Tech’s MIDhybrid is an e-reader that looks like a book. There’s an E-Ink screen on the left and a small LCD plus keypad on the right, with a hinge in the middle that allows it to fold in half either way.

It’s Marvell-powered and runs Android 1.6 which allows you to render content from the LCD over to the E-Ink screen. The device also features 3G, Bluetooth, and a front webcam. No price or release date just yet though.

I once missed a flight from Dallas to Las Vegas on the way to CES by a few minutes because they changed the gate at the last minute. I ended up sitting in the airport for six hours until the next flight left. That was the most miserable six hours of my life; counting the time I went with my wife to watch Titanic at the theater.

I can certainly see tiny hotel rooms for people stuck in an air port like the Dream and Fly rooms being very popular. The scant concept rooms are little cubes only a bit wider than a twin size bed with a bed, shower, and sink inside.

At first glance, this watch design concept called Maze of Time looked to be very confusing. The watch has different color lines that overlap in a sort of maze configuration. The watch face has a decoding color key on it to tell you what color is for what number.

Yellow and blue numbers are for the hours and red and green numbers are for minutes. Each colored set of lines makes a number and once you see how it works the thing is very easy to read.

We have seen all sorts of cool gear turn up at CeBIT in Germany ranging from PC hardware to new notebooks and netbooks. One of my favorite devices to debut at the show was the iTable. The thing is like a giant iPad that you can sit your drinks on.

The iTable has a 42-inch HD resolution screen and a full PC inside its 1.5-inch thick top. The screen support input from 32 fingers at once. It can also get input from a stylus, pen, bottle, or cup as well.

Energizer is one of the most poplar brands for batteries of all sorts including rechargeable batteries. The company unveiled some cool chargers for rechargeable batteries a while back called the USB Charger and the Duo Charger.

The chargers connected to your PC USB port and had software you could download to see the charge status of the batteries. Energizer has announced that the software for Windows machines has a major security vulnerability in it. The Mac version is unaffected.

iFrogz sent us a pair of their new EarPollution CS40 headphones for review. They come in several stylish colors and actually look pretty nice compared to what’s out there on the headphones market, so we were eager to give them a go and see if they are worth the $39.99 price.

The CS40 claims to offer “cranium busting sound with supreme comfort” and they have a high gloss finish with black dura-strength rubber cups and headband. They also promise light-weight and high quality.

ASUS has unveiled their latest 27-inch Full HD 3D monitor at CeBIT 2010. The PG276H is a nice looking widescreen monitor that supports NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology so you can watch all the new 3D movies being produced.

It will deliver 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 400 cd/m2 brightness, 20,000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time and 120Hz refresh rate. As far as ports, it offers dual-link DVI, HDMI and VGA. No info on pricing and availability just yet, but we should know soon.

We love unusual clocks around here and this one from Russian designer Viacheslav Slavinsky is certainly awesome. This must be the Rolls-Royce of hand-made gadget clocks.

By replacing the disc stack with a single disc that has the numbers punched into it, it shows the time by illuminating the numbers with LED panels from behind. The effect is just plain awesome. There are so many neat clocks like this, I can’t believe that anyone still has just a boring plain wall clock.

Looks like Acer has some new tricks up their sleeve. Soon they will introduce some ultra-thin frameless notebooks that feature touchscreen keyboards using the back of the panel’s glass substrate. These notebooks are scheduled to make their debut in the second half of the year.

The notebooks would display frames by printing colors onto the back of the notebook’s reinforced glass substrate by Corning. This would reduce the notebook’s size to something even thinner than was possible before and would also reduce material costs.

They have a special edition phone for every occasion so we kind of expected this one. Oakley and Nokia have teamed up to launch the limited edition Nokia N97 Winter Olympics 2010 edition. If you want one you better not mess around, because as usual they won’t produce very many.

In fact Nokia will release just 200 units. The phone sports the Oakley Thunderbird logo for the Vancouver Olympics laser etched on the back. It also comes preloaded with exclusive Oakley team videos and photos.

HTPC keyboards get more practical every day as they evolve. Check this out. This $92 6-inch-wide Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard fits in the palm of your hand, like a Wiimote. It has LED backlit keys for use in the dark, rechargeable batteries, and a touchpad.

There’s even a laser pointer. Proof that HTPC keyboards are definitely headed in the right direction. And you need a keyboard with your home theater PC. This one looks pretty convenient.

Some new pics have surfaced of Microsoft’s dual-screen Courier, and it looks like it should be a decent competitor to the iPad. Some new details accompany the new pics as well. The device is less than inch thick, weighs just over a pound, and the two screens are about the size of a 5 x 7 photo.

There’s apparently a built-in camera and the NVIDIA Tegra 2 graphics processor will be driving a version of the Zune HD and Windows Phone 7 interfaces.

The Motorola Backflip has an unusual form factor and if you like what it is offering, you’ll be happy to know that the Motorola Backflip is now available on AT&T’s website. You can get the backwards folding phone for just $99, after rebate and the two-year contract agreement.

Some features of the Motorola Backflip include the ability to do backflips all day long, Android 1.5 (upgradable to 2.1), a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card expansion up to 32GB and a 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen display.
