Over the weekend, NJTechReviews went to the intrepid. We got to see all of their amazing exhibits including the brand new Space Shuttle Pavilion. This is the Intrepid’s latest exhibit, seeing a space shuttle up close is amazing and breathtaking. The Intrepid also has many planes, helicopters, and many more items. And the entire museum is over the water, as you are on an aircraft carrier. You can go inside some of the cabins, and go up to the bridge. But first let’s begin with the Space Shuttle Pavilion, this is Intrepid’s newest exhibit. It is currently being displayed inside of a “bubble” towards the back of...

Well, it is the holiday season time of year again. So, the big question everyone is asking is “What Did You Get?“.

Or did you get the awesome LG Nitro HD?  You get the new laptop you were dying for the like the Alienware M11X or Lenovo IdeaPad U400?

Before the advent of the modern pocket calculator, slide rules were used to do complex calculations. These devices require no electricity, resemble a ruler, and were made of plastic. After the advent of cheap pocket calculators (around 1970′s), the slide rule became remnants of a past era. As an analog computer, the slide rule could do surprisingly much. It could perform trig functions, logarithms, multiplication, and other calculations. These simple mechanical devices were all that was used to perform the calculations that took us to the moon. The engineers and scientists, lacking the modern technology of today, relied on the...

So this one is very intreating. Remember those AOL Promotional discs, that were around during the 1990′s? Well the CEO during that time sure did. Take a look at this quick Q&A session that he had on the site Quora. How much did it cost AOL to distribute all those CDs back in the 1990′s? A lot! I don’t remember the total spending but do recall in the early 1990s our target was to spend 10% of lifetime revenue to get a new subscriber. At that time I believe the average subscriber life was about 25 months and revenue was about $350 so we spent about $35 to acquire [subscribers]. Around $35 per disc; This seems like a...
