Where am I? When? Who am I?

1. "Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humour, and Change.

- Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.

- Humor: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure

- Change: Know that nothing stays the same."


2. "There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments."

3. "When you feel fear. Use the sword, take it up here and cut the mind to ribbons, slash through all those regrets and fears, anything else that lives in past or the future"

4. "Take out the trash from what's inside your head."

Ultra Messaging i600 - Windows Mobile 5.0 powered Smartphone with integrated QWERTY keyboard and HSDPA support

Today at ITU Telecom World 2006, Samsung Electronics and Microsoft launched the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, the first 3G smartphone with HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) support . Measuring only 11.8mm and weighing a mere 99g, the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 is the world's thinnest 3G smartphone with a full QWERTY key board . It blends the feature-rich, desktop functionality of the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform with multimedia capabilities to help people work on the go, stay in touch with family and friends or just have fun.

"I am proud to introduce the Ultra Messaging i600 Windows Mobile smartphone with Microsoft. It represents the best innovation from both Samsung and Microsoft and makes it a perfect solution for today's mobile professional," said Kitae Lee, President, Samsung Telecommunication Network Business. "Samsung will continue to explore new market opportunities with Microsoft and we look forward to collaborating together to bring more innovative products to market."

The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 is the first smartphone in Asia Pacific and Europe that supports the HSDPA network for faster data transfer speeds, as well as seamless communications through high-speed connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. It is also the first smartphone to support web applications such as podcasting and RSS Feeder.

Ultra Experiences, Ultra Functionality

A key feature of the Ultra Messaging i600 is its QWERTY keyboard with wheel key, perfectly designed for composing messages or e-mails. In addition to this, the customized thumbwheel makes navigation simpler than ever . Running on Windows Mobile 5.0 with Direct Push Technology, the Ultra Messaging i600 instantly updates Microsoft Office Outlook's Email, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks when synchronised with Exchange Server 2003, to ensure that users are always up-to- date while on-the-move. In addition to its push email capability, users can view Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and image formats including BMP, JPEG and GIF with Picsel Viewer.

With two integrated digital cameras (1.3 megapixels in the back and VGA in the front), users can also conduct 3G video calls from the phone.

Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 users can listen to stereo-quality music and view high quality video clips with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile and a Bluetooth stereo headset. Internet browsing rivals the PC experience due to the device's large 2.3? high-quality color screen and wireless broadband capabilities. The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 also includes a speakerphone, built-in voice recognition and support for a 1.3 megapixel digital camera that can record video.

Built-in Pocket MSN offers consumers the consistent and familiar user experience that they currently enjoy with MSN Messenger on their desktops. With this offering, users will automatically have a separate Inbox for Hotmail messages on their device. They will also be able to view their buddy list and chat instantly with their contacts, whenever and wherever they want. All of these features are packed into a slim design, which makes the Ultra Messaging i600 the ideal balance of work and play. The Ultra Messaging i600 is comfortable to hold with a slim body and has a soft finishing which gives it a good grip.

?The mobile population is increasingly looking to use one device that easily plugs into their life, both in and out of the office," said Pieter Knook, Senior Vice President, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. "The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 works well both for organisations looking to increase employee productivity through the deployment of smartphones, yet deliver a desirable and fashionable smartphone for users at the same time."

The Samsung 's Ultra Messaging i600 will be available in Asia Pacific and Europe in first quarter, 2007.

Quick Review: LG KS20 - A Smart Windows Mobile Phone

by jaganath on May 12, 2008

7-day Free trial of Napster!

Recently, I got a chance to play with LG’s hot new Windows Mobile phone, the LG KS20. KS20 is a remarkably thin and lightweight phone with a QVGA screen. I was surprised by the connectivity options available on this phone. It has Triband GSM with UMTS. It is also HSDPA and Wi-Fi enabled for high speed internet browsing. Other standard connectivity options like bluetooth are available.

Though it felt plasticky when I held it in my hand, it is very lightweight - in fact, it is the lightest Windows Mobile phone I have ever come across. The screen is flush and the shiny plastic is prone to getting finger prints. LG also supplies a carrying case in the original box.

There aren’t many custom applications available. Even the today screen customizations done by LG are almost unnoticeable. This is surprising since the competitors like Samsung and HTC provide very heavily customized today screens on their new models. All you get in the KS 20 is a bunch of application launch icons on the bottom of the screen. Everything else is standard windows mobile fare. The absence of GPS based applications are noticeable. You can use an external GPS receiver though.

On the negative side, I felt that the touch screen is not very sensitive. In fact, you have to press the stylus hard to invoke any actions. This made it very uncomfortable to use. I feel that the digitzer’s life may be reduced because of the extra pressure one has to apply. Then again, this may be a problem specific to the piece that I had.

Otherwise, it is a stylish and feature packed tiny little windows mobile phone.

about meek http://www.gospelway.com/christianlife/meekness.php

part of a whole


(http://www.gospelway.com/christianlife/meekness.php)


meekness and Humility


Introduction:

Two of the greatest characters in the Bible possessed in common the qualities we want to study in this lesson.

Numbers 12:3 - Moses was very meek, above all men on face of the earth.

Matthew 11:29,30 - Jesus said, "I am meek and lowly in heart."

These men were two of the greatest characters who ever lived. Both were chosen by God to be givers of His law. Jesus was the Divine Son of God. Surely we should seek to be like these men.

Other verses emphasize the importance of these qualities

Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek (gentle - NKJV), for they shall inherit the earth. Jesus declares a "blessing" (happiness) on those who are meek.

Galatians 5:22,23 - Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit - qualities that we must possess if we are led by the Spirit.

Proverbs 16:18,19 - Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly.

If we seek to be happy, to be led by the Spirit, to avoid destruction, and to be like great people such as Moses and Jesus, we need to possess meekness and humility.

It is the purpose of this lesson to study these qualities, what they are, and how they will affect our lives. As we study, we will frequently note Moses and Jesus as examples who teach us about meekness and humility.

Definitions:

Meekness

This is an extremely difficult word to translate into English, because we think "meek" implies weakness. Sometimes it is translated (NKJV) "gentleness," but that also implies weakness.

The best way to know the meaning of a word is to study passages where it is used. As we do, we will see meekness is an attitude or quality of heart [1 Peter 3:4] whereby a person willingly accepts and submits without resistance to the will and desires of someone else. The meek person is not self-willed - not continually concerned with self, his own ways, ideas, and wishes. He is willing to put himself in second place and submit himself to achieve what is good for others. Meekness is the opposite of self-will, self-interest, and self-assertiveness.

This is a sign, not of weakness of character (as some think), but of strength. It requires great self-control to submit to others.

Humility

This is an attitude or quality of mind [Acts 20:19] whereby a person holds low esteem or opinion of his own goodness and importance. Spiritually, one abases himself because he realizes his sinfulness and therefore he is willing to depend on God to meet His needs. It is the opposite of pride, haughtiness, and self-exaltation.

Part I: Meekness and Humility Toward God...

Being humble implies that a person is modest, and does not think that he/she is better or more important than others. They do not brag about their achievements, even though internally, they know they did well. Humility can be considered a good quality and is actually one of the 7 virtues in Christianity.

Low self-esteem has more of a negative connotation. A person with low self-esteem might believe (wrongly) that they are worthless and that everything they do is wrong. He/she might not just believe that they are not better or more important than others, but that they are not even equal to others and that others are better or more important than them.

thank you everybody.

Blessed are the poor in spirit?

What does this mean? In my theology class, my teacher asked this, and I answered "It means blessed are the humble." She said no and later said it means humble.

Also, is there a difference between humble and meek? If not, why does Jesus say the same thing twice?

The poor in spirit are those who have reached rockbottom and have to depend on God alone, not their talents or abilities or name. They have nothing but their faith...which means they have everything.

The humble are those who know who Christ is, and who they are--and the difference. I call it "knowing how important you aren't." It's not a "poor me" thing, it's very freeing when you know that Jesus is on the job and you aren't required to be a big cheese--just faithful and true. When you know who you are in Christ, you don't have to worry about your reputation, just as Christ washed the disciples feet because as the Word says, "Knowing who He was and where He was going..." He knew He wasn't lowering Himself.

Meekness and humility go hand in hand. Humility is who you are before God and yourself; meekness is how you act with others. You don't have to defend yourself, or keep up with others, because you know who you are--therefore hostility and arrogance and all that aren't necessary.

    Poor in spirit has a meaning of its own: those who know of their essential need for God, and find the true meaning of joy when they find that God is sufficient for all of their needs.

    Humble is of low status in society.

    Meek is timid, afraid, not confident.

    (Theology is the study of words people have written about things that didn't actually exist. One of the more pointless activities in life.)

    Blessed are the poor in spirit." The Beatitudes reveal an order of happiness and grace, of beauty and peace. Jesus celebrates the joy of the poor, to whom the Kingdom already belongs:

    The Word speaks of voluntary humility as "poverty in spirit"; the Apostle gives an example of God's poverty when he says: "For your sakes he became poor."

    The People of the "poor" - those who, humble and meek, rely solely on their God's mysterious plans, who await the justice, not of men but of the Messiah - are in the end the great achievement of the Holy Spirit's hidden mission during the time of the promises that prepare for Christ's coming. It is this quality of heart, purified and enlightened by the Spirit, which is expressed in the Psalms. In these poor, the Spirit is making ready "a people prepared for the Lord."

    blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs shall be the kingdom of god... he also says unless you become like chidren you may not enter the kingdom of god... it means simple- minded, innocent- minded, pure...
    children have pure minds, clear minds, inocent minds. notmuch corruption, anger, hatred in it... poor in spirit means, having a peaceful and simple mind. when mind is still, when all judgement, all fear, all drama is gone... you are in heaven, you experience the kingdom of god... it lies beyond mind... gets reflected in a still mind only, in a "poor spirited" mind.

    Many things in scripture are presented in constructive parallelism, where essentially the same thought is presented in slightly different ways, to clarify. Unless you feel a need, you will not ask for a blessing. If you do not ask, you will not receive the blessing YAHOSHUA would like to give you.

    Poor in spirit, In my humble opinion means those who have suffered alot. Repeated bad experiences can cause spirit to weaken. Now if people are victim of oppression and they have not done anything to deserve it and yet are patient in their lives, Indeed a Just God will always bless them!
