Why need a tablet?

I mean really! Trying to be objective in this latest craze to get your hands in the next technology gadget, are we really getting value for money? I've spent the last couple of hours (precious sleep hours I might add) to figure out whether I should finally succumb to the tablet world. So the first question was... Android or iOS?

I mean there's so much politics going around between ipad 2 and Samsung galaxy tab or the new kid on the block... which seems to be changing all the time. It's like the endless comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and should deserve the top spot of player of the century award. I mean isn't this all a marketing gimic? Even the famous Pele and Maradona got into the act! And just like with everything in life, you eventually takes side. And it's so difficult not to.

So which is it? Do you go for versatility of Android or constant achiever and ever reliable Ipad?

It's like asking to do you go for the consistent Messi or surprise package of Ronaldo? I must be honest, I've owned Apple products before (ipod shuffle) and when it comes to multimedia (photos and videos) it doesn't get any better! I mean that's the whole selling point of Apple and with today's society hungry for multimedia social networks, it's no surprise the success of their devices. But more importantly, besides the control nature of Apple products and apps, one standardized device brings a sense of customer support that's unrivalled in the defragmented systems within the android world. So what I'm trying to say with Android you're trading versatility for functionality and reliability. For example, I have an xperia Neo and hardware support for this device is a nightmare! I'm A firm believer of open source software but the steep and not user friendly Linux based Ubuntu caused me to revert back to the old Faithfull windows xp. I guess people don't want to spend their time figuring out stuff out especially when you're nowhere close to being a developer or it support personel. So having devices that do what they're supposed to do and do it well... then that's all that matters... Especially for me and the thousands of people who believe that's exactly what you get in ipad. So conclusion: it you're looking for reliability and user functionality, then don't look Nd further than the trusted ipad 2. And that's that. So now I know what's on my next shopping list.

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!   Kind Regards   Henry Mnguni Sales Executive   Rivonia Toyota Office:        011 275 1699 Mobile:       082 325 5593 Fax2Email: 086 242 8226   C/O Rivonia Road            & Witkoppen Rivonia Crossing Sunninghill   From: Maswuma, Nelson T [mailto:nmaswuma@beckman.com] Sent: 18 October 2012 11:24 AM To: Paulin Kantue; Barnabas Chukweke; Bertha Chukweke; Henry Mnguni; Henry Mnguni; Henry Mnguni; fatamathebula@gmail.com...

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...
