Samsung’s New Hybrid Tablet Takes Aim at Apple’s iPad

Does Samsung’s new ATIV Q hybrid tablet pose a threat to Apple’s tablet market dominance? Ever since Apple unveiled its first iPad in 2010, the Cupertino-based company has consistently dominated the U.S. tablet market.

Although Samsung appears to be closing in on Apple in the U.S. OEM smartphone market with a 23 percent share compared to the iPhone’s 39.2 percent share, it’s another story when it comes to tablets. According to an anonymous Samsung source via the Korea Times, “Samsung’s tablet share in the U.S. is hovering around 13 percent, well below Apple’s 50 percent. Our technicians and management are now trying to come up with a different approach.”
Now it appears that part of Samsung’s new approach is to compete with Apple in the high-end tablet market. Samsung is taking aim at the iPad by releasing its own high-quality tablet that will be powered by both Microsoft’s  Windows 8 and Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android. Besides having a dual operating system, the device also features a multi-functional hardware design that lets it transform from a tablet to an ultramobile-type laptop.

Pastor Kumuyi To Resign Due To Son's Wedding Controversy

Pastor William Kumuyi  offered to resign as General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church following the controversy that trailed the wedding of his second son, John.
John Kumuyi and his wife, Love had engaged in acts, which negated the church’s tradition during their wedding held in Jamaica on June 15, 2013. Love, who is a daughter of the National Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Jamaica, Pastor Augustine Odih,  was dressed in a fitted stylish wedding gown with transparent short sleeves. She also wore makeup, jewelry and carried a bouquet of flowers. The couple cruised in a limousine and had a huge wedding cake.

The misdemeanor, which attracted widespread criticisms, had earned the newlyweds suspension from church activities despite showing remorse and tendering an apology to the church, blaming their misconduct on the fact that both of them had resided abroad for so long.

Sunday Sun gathered that the practice in the Deeper Christian Life Ministry is that if members’ children misbehave, both the children and their parents get punished on the grounds that it’s the parents’ failing in their responsibilities that made the children to err. Although the children involved in the Jamaican wedding infraction are adults, the leadership of the church regarded their action as a strong breach of its tradition, and immediately removed the bride’s father,  from his position as National Overseer in Jamaica.
To demonstrate that there is no double standard in the church, it was further learnt that Pastor Kumuyi, at the meeting held by the leadership of the church on the matter, offered to resign as General Superintendent, but was prevailed upon not to.
According to the Sunday Sun source, the General Superintendent did not take kindly to the couple’s behaviour and, unlike Eli in the Bible who did not discipline his sons and incurred the wrath of God, Pastor Kumuyi had ensured that the offenders were sanctioned.

Magic Draft Oladipo compared to Wade

Magic Draft Oladipo compared to Wade

Victor Oladipo was drafted second overall by the Orlando Magic on Thursday night and he’s now being compared to one of the NBA’s biggest stars. Dwyane Wade just won his second straight title and anyone in the league would love to be in his position.If all things keep pointing in the right direction for Oladipo, he may just get that chance. The 21-year-old has recently been compared to the Miami Heat star and the Magic would love for their newest guard to produce at the same level as one of the league’s best.

Wade has the clutch gene, so only time will tell how good Oladipo

really is. For the time being, the college standout is just trying to be the best player he can be.

“I don’t know whether it’s fair or it’s just because Tom Crean is my coach,” Oladipo said Friday, according to The Associated Press. ”We have similar parts to our game. I’m just trying to be the best Victor Oladipo possible.”

He’s a product of Indiana University’s basketball team which is led by head coach Tom Crean. The 47-year-old coached Wade during his time at Marquette University and he originally compared the two players.

“I’m not big on comparisons because it’s not fair to Dwyane,” Crean explained. ”Dwyane’s one of the best players in the world, and Victor just turned 21. When it comes to the kind of people that they are, the kind of teammates they are, the way they made their teammates better, (the comparison) is huge.”

That’s a great start for Oladipo and he hasn’t even hit the court with his new Magic teammates yet. During his final season at Indiana, Oladipo average 13.6 points a game compared to higher numbers from most top five draft picks.

He went No. 2 to the Magic just behind Anthony Bennett, but his college numbers don’t seem to be a worry for Orlando in the slightest bit.
