He is a cruel and vicious man who is bored to death and keeps himself occupied by watching his prisoners skillfully navigate the traps of his infernal mechanical labyrinth. And since we all now the old saying, No pain, no gain, there isn’t just one but two groups of enemy adventurers in the sinister dungeon!

Nokia unveils bicycle-powered phone charger

The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit, which can be attached to any bicycle, powers up from the pedaling motion of the bike's rider. A dynamo--the electricity generator--is powered by the front bicycle wheel as a rider pedals and transfers electricity to a charger attached to the handlebar, which a phone plugs into. "To begin charging, a cyclist needs to travel around six kilometers per hour (four miles per hour), and while charging times will vary depending on battery model, a 10-minute journey at 10 kilometers per hour (six miles per hour) produces around 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time. The faster you ride, the more battery life you generate," Nokia said in a statement. The charger can be used to power any Nokia phone with a 2mm power jack, according to Nokia. The kit comes with two small brackets, in addition to the charger and generator. One bracket attaches to the bicycle's handlebars to secure the charger and a cell phone holder. The other secures t
