War of Tablet - Part 2 - iPad 2 vs. Android

So I decided to carry on doing some digging (and in response to John), and I stumbled upon this article iPad 2 vs. Android: And the winner is... - Computerworld Blogs: and it got me really thinking. Although the Ipad is an incredibly simple piece of machinery, the only serious issue i have (i mean really serious), is the user's inability to configure it whatsoever outside the constraints of its proprietary software iTunes.

That really ticks me off especially because i own a XPERIA Neo and the best thing about this device is its inherent ability to be modified to any user-defined configuration (albeit the lack of RAM). Now having the foreknowledge that I can't do the same with the Apple tablet (which I would think is the platform to offer such services) makes me cringe in the knowledge that I'm playing an open-handed "GO TO JAIL" card willingly...

So my verdict (based on these new findings): The ipad 2 ( or 3) is great piece of machine constrained by manufacturer ego to have its customer being "dictated" which software to use. In the age of open source software, that's a cardinal sin. So its the Android tablet (honeycomb and above) winning hands down.

RE: End of Year Function 2012

Hi bros and sisters I think people will still travel on Saturday anyway to different destinations, so they can travel to Athlone Girls for our Christmas party. Personally, I think we should do the party on Saturday as original arranged and let Sunday be exclusively reserved for our praise and worship service. Saturday we just party and have a good time!

Now faith...

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1). Often times I believe that I have faith by what I say and think. But the more I meditate on this scripture, I see that 'being sure' comes with your body language when that situation is mentioned. You don't drop ur head; you still have a bounce in your step. Everything about you says you have a positive attitude towards that situation. "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6). So it goes on a step further and says without that positive attitude and bounce in your step, God will not be pleased. For the source of that confidence comes from acknowledging God's presence in our lives and Him able to do beyond what we can imagine. "Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Is...

Affirming in Disagreement

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. - Proverbs 15:1 Do you know how to affirm your spouse even when you disagree? It's a big step in learning how to have meaningful conversations. Take this example: A wife has shared that she is hurt by something her husband has done, and he responds, "I appreciate your sharing your ideas and feelings with me. Now I can understand why you could feel so hurt. If I were in your shoes, I'm sure I would feel the same way. I want you to know that I love you very much, and it hurts me to see you upset. I appreciate your being open with me." This husband has learned the art of affirming his wife even though he may not agree with her perception. Of course, he has a perspective and will eventually share it, but first, he wants his wife to know that he understands what she is saying and can identify with her pain. He is not condemning her interpretation, nor is he telling her that she should not feel up...
