Submission + - SPAM: Does my key fob have more computing power than the Lunar lander?

jammcq writes: When people talk about the power of their computers, we've heard all kinds of claims:
  • I have more power on my desktop computer than the Apollo had to put a man on the moon
  • The phone in my pocket has more power than the Apollo space program had
  • I have more power on my wrist watch than the lunar lander
  • And the latest one: I have more power in my key fob than the Apollo capsule had

Are any of these true?

In this episode, we break it down and enjoy a bit of computing history along the way.
