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.

Spiritual Intelligence and Leadership

Spiritual Intelligence is one of the latest buzzwords in the leadership field. It is increasingly recognised that leaders not only need emotional intelligence but also spiritual intelligence. Depending on how we define spiritual leadership, it can be seen as a crucial component of authentic leadership necessary to cope with a dramatically changing world constantly threatened by toxic behaviour. In essence, spiritual intelligence is the quest for better understanding of two key foundation principles of authentic leadership: The inner self : The quest for self-knowledge is a crucial component of inner peace and confidence. Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...
