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.

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...
