  Cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cube is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of 3-sided trapezohedron, and is dual to the octahedron.
A cube can be inscribed in a dodecahedron so that each vertex of the cube is a vertex of the dodecahedron and each edge is a diagonal of one of the dodecahedron's faces; taking all such cubes gives rise to the regular compound of five cubes.
Cubes of this sort occur in the theory of parallel processing in computers.

 Power Mac G4 Cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a result of the failure of the G4 Cube, Apple Computer's stock (which had risen to a high based on the success of the iMac G3) had dropped back to the low levels from before the iMac was released.
Apple's previous statement indicated that there was a slim possibility of Cube production being resumed in the future, and it would appear that the Mac mini has succeeded the Cube as a small, screenless computer.
While the Cube was generally considered very visually attractive, the limitations of its design led to several practical inconveniences.

 JP Brown's Serious LEGO - CubeSolver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
To achieve a cube solution, you must be able to rotate the whole cube by 90° in two orthogonal axes, and be able to turn a face by 90° relative to the rest of the cube.
The bottom gabber holds the center 'slice' of the cube when the left or right grabber is turning a single face, and also provides a 90° turn for rotating the whole cube.
The tricky part is to re-orient the cube between moves to present the next face to be turned by the left or right grabber.

Cube objects are three-dimensional specializations (e.g., more convenient and efficient indexing) of the general Array class.
Since the Cube is three-dimensional, the IPositions are overkill, although you may use those versions if you want to.
If this cube has zero elements then it will resize to be the same shape as other; otherwise other must conform to this.

 Nissan Cube
The exterior design of the Cube was executed with the aim of creating a "new cubic design," and draws on themes proposed in the Nissan Chappo concept first shown at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show.
The Cube has one of the shortest overall lengths and smallest minimum turning radii (4.4 m) of any vehicle in its class.
The Cube features Nissan's compact, lightweight e-4WD system that has been engineered around a front-wheel-drive configuration and uses an electric motor to drive the rear wheels only when 4WD capability is needed.

In 1991 the cubes began a modest come back but it wasn't until the late 90s that the cube staged a return.

 Cube movie review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Cube at first glance (from the inside) appears to be a bunch of interconnected cubic rooms with six openings, forming some sort of a maze.
As the five strangers become acquainted with themselves and their surroundings, they are unable to figure out what the purpose of the Cube is, and who or what is responsible for its construction (with the assumption that there is indeed a purpose even though one of them posits that this could just be random event).
Needless to say, given the claustrophobic nature of the rooms, the fact that they have no means of nutrition, and frustration at failed attempts to unearth the mystery of the Cube, there is a tremendous amount of interpersonal conflict.

 Solving Rubik's Cube Using the Bestfast Algorithm and Profile tables   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
By convention, we will refer to the mid-face cubes as "stationary." This is because we can move the other exposed cubes without ever moving the mid-face cubes to another position.
A result of all of this is that you do not have to describe the state of the whole cube by the colors on each face: We can mentally break the cube apart into mini-cubes and note the orientation of each mini-cube.
When we are presented with an unsolved cube, we could lay the mini-cubes all on a table in a row, oriented in the directions that they were when the cube was whole, and solve the puzzle by finding a series of moves that causes every mini-cube to be in its solved orientation.
