google +

Well, well seems like google is now getting into the social networking wars, the google plus / Google+.

Many people think it just like another facebook, to save the introduction steps. It does work like facebook, uploading your status updates, sharing photo.

But one thing google did do is to set up circles. You can have your status or photo only made available to certain group of people. For instant you post something about your family and only wants your family members to view it. So you can click on to share only on the "family" circles.

From my point of view, it is quite neat for google to come out such simple social network. But hey! how complicated do you want your social network to be? Google just announce Google + apps on iPhone and long available on Android devices.

Thats my first impression toward google +, let see what can I do in google + that I can't do in facebook. Oh ya! Google + is now not open to public yet, so if you want any invitation just message me and I will invite you. Till then happy googling!

Android vs Apple

The world of smartphone. Begins in the Nokia era, Then comes Windows mobile. But now those 2 big software maker is nowhere to be seen. The world is now all about Android phone or Apple's iPhone. Which makes people in dilemma. Which is the best one to offer?

Both of them are very good platform, believe me both of them did really well in term of functionality. But still it depends on what your looking for in a phone. If you like to be simple, everything straight forward with tons of game to play without much difficulty in searching them apple will be your choice. However if your looking to have a extraordinary phone with many things to change and modify, Android will be your choice.

Apple logo forever is the biten apple. Nothing much to shout about, every time they change it will only be maybe a glowing apple, a metal apple. But still it is apple. This show that their branding, no matter what happen, apple will not let you customize too much.

On the other hand, Android's mascot, the green robot give you full customization ability. Even their mascot you can see like a business man robot, a cheerleader, or just a plain green android. This is how android get market share from apple. People do want to look different, they want to feel different.

Apple's phone is all about application. They are very proud on their app store. Which is a good thing, they have proper checking process to ensure the application are in tip top condition. In the other hand, google does not gives any checking process. Everyone can send their app in for sell. The bad thing is the quality at least for me is very bad looking :D

Even with the knowledge between their 2 major platform, I still have some dilemma to choose which one will be my next phone. But I do have very bad experience with HTC's desire. It when haywire after one week after my purchase, and now the camera, LED notification light go poof. Well at least I'm utilizing my warranty :D

Overcoming the challenges?

After one month in Liverpool, things had sort out pretty quickly I'm happy to be here. But things didn't work out right as always. Bad things do happen. Even when problem caused by friends, lecturer, own time management, money matters etc.

But now I'm having difficulty in my life. I'm feeling this is a challenging, and it's killing me. Is not about money and time. This thing doesn't see eye to eye with my heart. This is not a good thing. Hopefully I will be granted with a better mentality to overcome this challenge. This might make me into a better person! Hell ya!!

Lately I feel that I need to walk back the way of Jesus. I been long lost with his words, even thought I still pray for my family. I need to have a better determination on everything I planned. Failing to plan is planning to fail, and failing is not an option. Do you best danny boy !!
