Texas Instruments has already put the advancement on the simple calculator as their TI-83 or TI-84 calculator is heavy on graphics.

TI has again improved their calculator making it closer to a computer operating system feel with their TI – Nspire. Reports from math teachers however say that the Nspire has so many functions that they might now need anymore. They feel this gadget is more complex than it has to be.

According to Texas Instrument’s education and technology unit lead, the Nspire is a bit of a different model and they are making every effort to make the market understand why calculator was made to be what it is now.

TI is hoping that Nspire is going to sell as well as their previous version of TI-83, and TI-84.

The Nspire is high tech compared to lots of calculators because it can run spreadsheets, take notes, can have multiple representations of a problem on the screen, can create, save and review various electronic documents.

This gadget from TI definitely aims to bring productivity for the user. While iPhone can do the same, users would be fighting over distractions as various gaming applications that can be installed on the iPhone can take the focus away from users.

If I were a math major, I would surely buy one of these things.

When I first heard it, I thought it was okay but after hearing it couple times, I really began to appreciate the lyrics and how well Timberlake fits in with T.I.  I saw the music video for the first time this week and I really liked it even though if kind of reminds me of that final scene in Se7en when Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman end up out in the desert with the serial killer.   Since the song is called “Dead and Gone,” maybe that’s what they were going for. Here’s the video – check it out and you be the judge.

Dead and Gone by T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake

“Quite simply, it feels amazing,” said Audigier, partner of Christian Audigier The Nightclub, “I feel like I can do anything and this is just another facet of who I am.  I have so much to offer this world from what you wear to how you relax, party and enjoy life.  This will be an extension of how I do it and everyone will be able to do it with me.  Let’s party!”

Audigier is the power behind the Ed Hardy, Smet, Crystal Rock and the Christian Audigier lines.  His rock ‘n’ roll style is celebrated throughout The Nightclub with works of art designed by Audigier, customized staff uniforms and splashes of his signature elements.

Incorporating some of Audigier’s trademark design elements including roses, skulls and gleaming crystals, this new nightlife destination is sure to have nightclub and chic fashion enthusiasts buzzing.  Anchored by a black pebble stone bar with a red mirror bar top, some of the most distinct features of Christian Audigier The Nightclub include vibrant red velvet tufted walls, black glass chandeliers, skull-and-rose encrusted mirrors and black crocodile embossed leather banquettes.  The crown jewel of The Nightclub is a pair of massive jellyfish tanks, which illuminate the space and create this kind of constant art in motion.

Christian Audigier The Nightclub has a fantastic outside patio element offering patrons a front row view of The Strip.  We hung out for the evening on the patio, and stood back and people watched all evening. That, and the drinks were probably my favourite parts of the entire evening.

Both the Jolly Roger (above) and the Crystal Rock n’ Lemonade (right) are so good! The Crystal Rock n’ Lemonade tastes like summertime to me.
