[url=nairaland.com]How To Study Your Bible[/url]


This has always being a controversial issue among christians worldwide.
Competition keep emerging every day in the christian dome.
Denominational doctrine is becoming the integral being of christians now adays.

This challenges prompted me to write on how to successfully read your bible scripturally.


There are different perspective in which each denomination read their bible. Let us read according to the word of Christ and not as a profession or a religious buisness (philosophy).


- Cramming (memorizing) method: This is the most widely use method of studying the bible worldwide, and even accepted by philosopher and theologians. The bible never assert that you should cram the bible or to memorize it. Stop attemting reading your bible off-hand, and read the word as it must be read.

Please, always note this at the back of your mind, that; "The word you cram is not the word you know. But the word you act is the word you know",

Several competitions arises due to this denominational standard of reading the bible. That is why most people think they have the ability to teach the word because of their great knowledge on the scripture. This people can quote the bible from Genesis to Revelation, which is good, but negleting the acting of the word, which is better.
When a pastor now recite 50 scriptures in a sermon, they will say that the pastor is loaded. But since we all desire to know how Jesus taught us to read the bible, let us check on the master voice.
Jesus said; "To him that readeth, let him also understand". The major and the ultimate purpose of reading the bible is to understand and not to recite off-hand. For example, the bible said; "Thou shall not kill". I may say it in my most understandable way by saying; "A man shall not eleminate (murder) his neigbours (friends & foes) life".
Todays language goes this manner: According to the book of....., while my bible said that for it is written.
It is not a book that we can read with our brilliancy, not even with English, physics, computer and mathematics knowledge. You may be a genuis in mathematics but may not able to read the word. Also, remember that the word was written by fishermen, capenter, shepard, farmer, and so on. Imagine the possibility of the bible being written by this categories of people. Are farmers brilliant? No! They have little but a limited knowledge. Jesus choses his twelve disciples without going to schools, synagogues and the literate society, but rather went to the sea side and made fishermen became a fishers of men. If our intelligence is our licence to read, we are permited to cram and the word belongs to the brilliants.

Let us read slowly, repeatedly, attentively, commitedly, and devotedly. There is no end to reading, but read as if reading is the major of life and indeed, its the major of life. Embrace the meditating method that Jesus gave to us. Read but re-read in your heart. Think more on what you have read. Meditation reveals Revelation.

I will continue tomorrow. Thanks for your contribution.

If it is your matematical knowledge that will make you to miss heaven, please cut it off.....

I don't believe that God will ever give someone an assignment to highlight false prophets arround.

Jesus said that; "John came not eating with sinners and you said he is a devil, Jesus came eating and drinking with sinners, and they still said he hath a devil".

You said he is proud, stingy and so on, and called him a false prophet because of his wealth. TB Joshua came, humble, gentle and you still accuses him of being a false prophet because of his spiritual gift.

A man inquired Jesus to judge him and his brother, but Jesus replied; who made me a judge over you.

Also to that harlot, he said; Neither do i condemn you.

Am not defending him and i will never.


People started comparing an athiest to a man of God.
Bill Gate who is too busy with his allocation on time resources, and has a lot to do on a sunday morning.

There is no giving outside Christ.

I will not mention his charitable deeds but be wise enough to search.

Why did you hate him?...... Money! You are wrong.
Money is not the root of all evil but the love of it. Everything he is doing, is it not in the name of Christ?
TB Joshua said a word that; The poor will see the rich as a sinner, a robber, a ritualist.


That you are not yet rich does not me that you should condemn the rich.

Your tithe will not fly to the sky but belong to the priest. Have you forgotten how much he fasted before having his encounter. What encounter have you heard?
A man at that age, still actively serving God with heartedly.

Don't be surprice when you see Oyedepo in Heaven. He is busy serving God while you keep busy criticizing him. Infact, may be when you were typing your critics post, he is busy praying, fasting, and preaching (saving souls). Well continue on your assignment and you will have the reward.
God will not reward you because you are a great false prophets highlighter.


You can call him a false prophet, but you cannot do more than that.

He is a false prophet, did something happen? Everything belongs
to the day of judgement.

All what you are doing are not the duties of a reasonable christian. You don't know who will make heaven and not sacrifice. Remember that God will have mercy and not sacrifice. Paul said that, being poor yet making many rich. And Oyedepo, being rich making many rich. Please study your holy bible and not just your bible. Allow your spirit to aid you in understanding the word. Please go and pray, preach and let see how your own christianity will be. Untill your own christianity accomodate percicutions, you are not yet a real christian.

It is not an error not to believe in a prophet, but a wise and responsible christian go down on his knees and pray to God for him. That is how my own Jesus taught me. I too have some prophets like that, that i have not yet agree with them in spirit, but i go down on my knees for them.

To condem only prove who you are, and reveal your arrogance.

Please go to the colledge of silence.

TB Joshua said: I don't judge the outward appearance; money, jet, clothing, e.t.c. I judge the heart.

What if his heart is in one with God, are you not the looser? Did you see his heart or are you the one that call him.

We are all guilty. See how you have idolize your phone, what if you have a mansion, how will you behave? Infact, the real christians are not even on nairaland. They sometimes apper as a guest.
Are you a giver? How many scholarship have you give? Try to achieve somethings in your christian life, rather than wasting your time doing the wrong (unscriptural) thing, and claiming that you are doing God service.

Please go down on your knees and pray for forgiveness. Stop the critics.

I love you all but God loves you more.

This is my last message.

Answer - Question 3

In my above arguements, i have briefly mentioned something similar.

This is the major weakness of computer science. Programming is replacing software engineering.

Everyone are now great programmers, but not fit enough in becomming a software engineers. And the computer itself, was developed by people who never study computer science but rather a leading mathematician in their own time.

And infact, studying computer science in school is not a worthy course since being a mathematics advocate will make you to become fit.

Study mathematics and not just computer science.

Great computing techniques are developed by mathematian.

God bless mathematics but emerges computer science.

Am only funny, am a computer scientist.

Mathematicians are the great programmers.

Those who make early contributions to computer are mathematicians. Even in the UK, 25% of mathematics graduate propel to the computing industry, and mathematics professors mostly teaches computing in higher academic level.

To me, computer science is just another area or department of mathematics.

Until todays programmers embrace mathematics to be the father of computation, and acknowledge that; "programming is not independent of mathematics"

computer have not replace human labour but rather reduce it. The growth of computer is when it replaces mechanical work.


I rest my case but will continue by challenge

drealboy:
1) every programming language has a design objectives.some r great for text manipulation like perl while some r great for complex mathematical computation like Fortran while some r great in system programing like c/c++

2) even those language that r not that mathematically oriented can solve most mathematical problems with third party libraries example is numpy in python
3) pls can u clarify why programmers r being ridiculed because that ur closing statement didn't not hold water at all.thanks

I too, am a programmer and not trying to ridicule it as a profession. Everyone will always defend his profession, but until we convert our weakness to strenght, we will not grow. Every of your statement are correct. Infact, have seen an arguement proclaiming that; "Programming is a mathematical operation". And beside, i have not even answer other areas of the questions.

Are you a mathematician? I know that there are languages intentionally designed for mathematical operation. But great mathematician are software engineers. Computation emerges from mathematics and also does not stand out independently.

And note that we are overcomming our programming challenges. Let us debate and make a valuable contribution which is worthy of implementation.

Thanks for contributing.

Stop playing Ignorance

it is an error to defend any man of God, in an attempt of fighting for God.

But are you acting Scripturally, by naming false prophets. Jesus said that there are false prophets, but He never called names and likewise the apostles.

Why are today Chrostians calling almost every prophet a false prophet; TB Joshua, Chris, and Oyedepo, and so on. My own bible never assert any names to false prophets. Anything apart from that is Judgment.

I quote: All prophets are not false prophets.

My own bible teaches us to be fast and quick to learn, observe, discern, and to hear, but be slow to respond, judge, and to condem.

Have you covered your bible, have you grow spiritually, have you build your prayer alter, have you put on the spirit of fasting, how many souls have you win for Christ, where have you spread the gospel to, what is your commitment to Christ, and most especially, is your relationship still stable with Christ? Oh! You are still a baby Christian?

Don't be ignorant of the fact that [b]political power can jeopardize (stop) the so called FAITH and other religious activities. The book of Acts clearly define this; When the Apostle were almost stoped for professing their faith, and needed to even prayed for Boldness.

We need men who are still bold like Peter today, to oppose the political power in an attempt of crushing christianity. God will always raise great men of God, whoose boldness can overcome a nation.
He may be a friend to the president but that does'nt make him an advocate of politics and a sinner. Where are you when he said that he count it a demotion to become a president of a nation.

Wealth is not a crime, Greatness is not an error, and boldness is not pride.

If he is working to get money, you will know because he would have relax in serving God. Am not surprised that he is great, i would have being surprise if he is not. He is a man of responsibility. Before he was rich, he served God heartedly. After he became rich, did he relent? Infact, he serve God the more. A man who will preach 3 times in a vigil. Since his character can sustain what he have, there is no error there.

If all Christians are poor, the christiandom will not stand. It can lead to stealing, shame, borrowing and all manner. We need money but not exess.
When you become rich like him, we will see how you will behave.

This is a prayer in proverb: "God don't make me too poor and dont make me to be too rich. If am too poor, i will disgrace your name because i may go and steal. If am too rich, i may not have time for you again.

Is he still having time for God or not? I leave you to judge.

And beside, is irresponsible christian that criticize and condem. If you have enough responsibility, you will not be highlighting false prophet arround.

Check your fitness; Are you fit?

Let us reserve every error till the day of judgement. And dont twist your so called amazing fact as a righteous admonishment.

Prosperity is not a crime!

seseannie:
Pls advice me house. I and my boyfriend of 2yrs have fixed a date for our introduction nxt month. And I jst gained admission for my masters programme in another state. I travelled on sunday so that I can start the registration process only for me to come back today n see two used condoms in a nylon inside d kitchen. So many things running in my mind now. I am thinking of quietly quitting the relationship or should I confront him?

please think well naw before you marry each other. You can quit now but cannot quit in marriage. And beside, what will a responsible man be doing with a used condom and not an unused one. Please think well. Although dont give up on him, you can still change him.

Answer - Question 5


Debating whether computer is the future is the most sensitive prediction.

President Obama of America employed all America students to study computer science because he knows that computer is the future. Infact, bank will soon majorly prefer to employ computer scientist, compared to accountants.

Since great programmers are mathematics guru, computer science can still emerge to be the top-most in the world.

Bill gates prediction concerning computer science before the year 2050;
Says that Robots wil replace human labour and extensively use by farmers, due to the modernization of artificial intelligence development.

My own perspective vividly oppose there pridictions.

Computer is not the future, but something is coming that will lead technology in the future while passing through computer.

Computer is fading. Am not trying to down grade but they are limited to handle software relating problems and not real problems while mathematician satisfy this.

If computer should be the future, that means that the 21st century invent nothing but contributions to the old century inventions.
Something must emerge.

We can not just be operating a machine that is not agile enough.
We need a machine that will be wise enough to solve common problems in the community.

If computer is really growing, i think that they should have replace mechanical work.

Computer is not the future.

Answer - Question 1

All programming languages are not well mathematically oriented, as only but a few of them are fit enough in writting an operating system. Examples of mathematically oriented language include C, C++, and so on.

There has being many arguements that Java is becomming the giant of programming language, as it is used in written the android operating system. When comparing languages together, please compare with valuabe facts and not just with feasible evidence. There is no Superior language, as well as there is no Inferior language.

As a Mathematicain and the sametime a Computer Science, not just that but a physicist, electronic engineer, English advocate, a teacher, a company, and most especially, God vessel.
To me, languages that are not well mathematically well constructive can never emerge to be the best. That is why programmers are very ridicule in industry.
Since programming all started as a result of mathematical operation, languages will be meaningless by depreciating mathematics in prog lang.

I Rest my case but will continue by challenge.

Please let us gain more experience and knowledge, by challenging our selves with what programmers are facing in industry, companies and organiations.


Programming Challenge

1)- Distinguish between mathematically oriented languages and non-mathematically oriented language.

2)- Why does industry prefer mathematicians to programmers:
Asserting that mathematician have problem solving skills, compared to programmers.

3)- Is programming replacing Software Engineering?

4)- Is programming Math?
Is Computer Science maths?
Is math superior to programing?

5)- Is Computer the future?

6)- Via prediction, robotic development is growing intensively; Is robot replacing human labour?
How and Why?

7)- Why are most professors not rich?

- Why are mathematician teaching computing in higher academic level?

9)- Is computer the leading technology?

10)- Must everyone (all academic field) study computational science?

11)- Between computer science and mathematics, which aid most in logical reasoning and improve smartness?

12)- Why are some computer pioneers the most business innovative in the world?

13)- Why did competition emerges in the computing industry?

14)- Why are programming language fading?

15)- What effort does computation needed; Mental or Hardworking?

16)- Why did most people think that computer literacy is majorly for computer science student, and not for everybody?

17)- How does Electronic engineers and physicist contributed to computer hardware, and affect software positively?


Programmers Prediction

Above all, all advocates of computer should give his/her prediction concerning computer in the nearest future.

See what i clame: Mine will be different. What about you?

CHALLENGE FOR MUSLIM



This is simple and basic as it does not anticipate any abuse. Let me start with this question;


Is Muhammed still alive?


I won't dispute the fact that Muhammed exist, i won't disagree with the fact that he deceived too. Yes, he exist and deceive. I have read alot about Muhammed. He was just a religious scientist. He came up with an idea of creating a new religious doctrine. God restricted his demonic spirit nature from not being able to perform a real and valuable miracle, which made him to said that "Miracles has been stoped from the ancient testament ages".
As a result of this, he was restricted from heavenly proofs or evidence. Jesus cited in his ministry on earth that "believe in the miracles that you see me doing for they are evidence of my father backup".


I won't decieve you by saying that Muhammed is in paradise. He is just one of leviathans who are fearless
and confidently terrorize. Morality surpass the religion of Muhammed. Many fake muslims are still denying millitancy, when they are the one practising real islamic religion.

Atleast, morality will keep you from fornication and make you to embrace living in peace instead of chanting peace in blood-shedding.
His sinful nature is just high with his smooth talk.

He may possibly be with Satan now. He succeeded a great mission by initiating the belief that religion is a licence to heaven. These people don't have a heart for God at all. They just exist but they don't live.


It will be too
ridiculus to be comparing a creature
with a creator. Muhammed is a
creature and Jesus is a creator.
Muhammed had a grave but
Jesus is the first to resurrect from
the dead.

The name of
Muhammed is a dead name but
see how the name of Jesus is
healing, delivering and saving
which proves that he is alive. I
can't be following a dead servant.
Infact a living dog is better than a
dead lion. You are even better
than the corpse of Muhammed.

I am living, he is dead, am more lively than him. Infact, my common sence surpasses his. I wonder why he is just not wise.

Thank God he succeded fooling himself to hell but what about my brethren?

I cry!

The day will declare when you
will see the stone that you are
rejecting becoming the head of
the corner.

God cannot forgive Satan because judgement has been set on him as well as been reserved for another sect of judgement. You are asking for two impossible things while darkness irritates light and light an enemy of darkness. Even those in the world of the dead, judgement has been set. Satan had being giving more than enough chance/time to repent while in heaven but his nature was against holiness. Did you know what it is for someone to be the father of sin, the firstborn of sin and at the same time also called sin.

I thereby conclude that even if satan humiliate his pride and present himself before God in the pursue of forgiveness, God will not forgive and God cannot forgive Satan.

He polluted God creation and caused harvoc.

I repeat, God cannot forgive Satan even when he repent of his sin. He dont have to repent because he is already regreting. For him to context to become like God and wage war with God, he awaken sin into Gods creation and promote wickedness. He is the only one that God cannot sympathy for his destruction. What if he had won the battle; what will we be saying? How will he treat the creation? And beside, he is not ignorant of his damnation but only making vows that they wont burn alone.

The devil cannot repent, and even if he repent, God will not forgive him!

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS


Truly, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness and tenacity of purpose, persistence, diligence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches, or other material objects.

Whatever it is, becomes insignificant when it is compared with the greater asset he acquired in the form of definite knowledge that an intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into material rewards by the application of known principles.

Psychologists have correctly said that "when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.

Subsequent events proved that no mistakes was made."

The illustration of Barnes and Mr. Edison clearly proved to us that a desperate thoughts emerges greatness.

Barnes was so desperate to go into business with Edison, and he said "I will accomplish this end if it takes the remainder of my life." He meant it! What a different story men would have to tell if only they would adopt a definite purpose, and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!


One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken with temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

A certain uncle R.U Darby probably commence on a project to dig gold and grow rich. But while drilling seems to become an endless task for them and encountering some machinery faultiness while all seems to be proved abortive and unavailing. They decided to quit while they handed over the project to another to a junk man after selling their machinery to them a few hundred dollars. The junk man told his engineers to make some calculations and they work on their weaknesses and realized that it would take just three feet from where the Darby's had stopped drilling! That is exactly where it was found!


Before success comes in any man's life, he is to meet with much temporary defeat, and perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunny. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach. No does not necessarily mean no. Experience was a blessing in disguise. It teach you to keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be.

Stop studying failure in search of knowledge that may lead to success. Why don't you convert defeat into stepping stones of opportunity.

One of the main weakness of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word "impossible."

Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

Another weakness found in altogether too many people is the habit of measuring everything, and everyone, by their own impressions and beliefs. You cannot think and grow rich because your thought habits have been steeped in poverty, want, misery, failure, and defeat.

Learn from the language of Henry Ford

He told his engineers to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block and to produce a design for the engine.
The engineers responded him with the word impossible.
Ford said, "Produce it anyway."
"But, "they replied, "it's impossible!"
"Go ahead,"Ford commanded,"and stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required."

The engineers went ahead and started the project but returned back to him with the word "impossible!"

"Go right ahead,"said Ford, "I want it, and i will have it."
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.

Before accumulating great riches in great abundance, we must magnetize our mind with intense desire for riches, that must become "money conscious" until the desire for money drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.


Principles that can change your destiny

Maintain a spirit of open-mindedness, and remember that those great people highlighted above are invention of no one man. The principles have worked for many men. You can put them to work for your own enduring benefit.

Imagine the possibility of Henry Ford emerging his way to greatness, but with little schooling, without a dollar, with no influential friends, rose to great heights.

Convert ideas into money, start from scratch, without finances, and recoup your losses.


Paul perspective

Indeed, thoughts are things. I will personally like to expatiate more about the word thought.
We can simply refer the word thought to ideas or arrangement of ideas that result from thinking. Thought is a fundamental human activity. Thoughts are the result or product of either spontaneous or willed act of thinking.

The word thought comes from the Old English Þoht, or geÞoht, from stem of Þencan "to conceive of in the mind".

Source:[url=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/thought]Wikipedia[/url]

The primary source of success is usually in the thoughts. A weak thought will generate a weak destiny. Meaning, a weak achievements.

The book of proverb clearly stated it that "The way a man think in his heart, so shall he be".

This implies that thought = greatness and greatness is in the heart. Meaning that the first place to cultivate greatness in life is in your mind (thought and heart). I will express more when we get to power of the master mind.
A restricted thought will be limited in pursuit. What you can accomplish in your thought, you can achieve in reality. There is no success without a quality thought.
Don't let us deceive our self, it is easier to think something, to say something than to process it in the realm of the reality. A man can pass the first stage of success which is thought but may also fail in the second stage which is process.
An attempt to quit easily is a sure assurance that you can not emerge greatness. Quitters don't win. They are merely a looser.

Things are born(created) from the unseen realm of thought and are practically feasible into the realm of the seen(universe).
Thoughts are greatness.

Don't be ignorant of misinterpreting day-dreaming with thinking.

Specifically in every field of life that you are in, think.
The universe were filled with men who traveled into the unseen world of thought to discovered new secrets and mystery and return back to delivered their unveiling hidden treasures of secrets and unseal the unknown mystery of knowledge into practical facts.
They are men who arise in the morning and look into their primitive environment to see what next to be done. They think of what should be done that is not done, and not just satisfy with the present technology the universe have.
If scientist were satisfy, what will we have today? Never desire to become an experts but always crave to make a difference. The universe need you in its development. Try to replenish the earth. Make an impact in your own generation.

Take up new projects and start developing them.

To those who believe that hard working is step to riches, you are wrong because there are laborers out there who are really hard working but weak in thoughts. They are dreamless. Firstly become hard working in your thoughts.
Riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness or tenacity of purpose, with little or no hard work. A man that is poor is not a man that has no money but a man without dream.
You, and every other person, ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire that state of mind which will attracts riches. I spent twenty-five years in research because I, too, wanted to know "how wealthy men become that way."

Above all, thought is the rung of a ladder that elevates people to the top(height).

What have you cultivated in your thought? Impossibility?

Why study computer science?

Innovation is often thought to be the life
of the startup. The madcap entrepreneurs
and fearless youngsters throwing
themselves into changing the world, with
faith and hope and a little craziness.

The
talk is of disrupting the industry and
shaking things up. These are the people
with nothing to lose, with their whole lives
ahead of them, looking forward, never
backward.

Big corporations are mostly seen at the
other end of the spectrum. They are
sometimes accused of focusing on profit
and shareholders over their customers, and
innovation isn’t often high on the list of
priorities.

But for some global brands, they do try
new things. Google is famous for search,
and it has become so much more than that.

But do they have too many ideas, are they
having too many failures, and are they
really the most innovative tech company on
the planet?

A long list of success… and failures
The list of Google’s innovations, some of
which have been successful but many that
haven’t, is long and incredibly varied. Some
of them are big changes that really don’t
seem like it – new things that we assimilate
into our lives as naturally as wearing a new
shirt, like when Google Instant made our
searches lightning quick or when Street
View brought our navigation down to
street level. Google Fiber, (currently in an
experimental stage in Kansas City) hopes to
do this with our Internet connections,
bringing broadband speeds 100x today’s
average.

Other Google innovations are big, visibly
“new” things, that have made or will
possibly make our lives completely
different. Google Wave, had anyone been
able to understand it, could have possibly
done this. Currently, two huge Google
projects in the works that could have
massive implications on our lives are the
driverless cars (that have now logged
300,000 miles) and the amazingly futuristic
Project Glass.

Today’s gimmick…

Most of the time, today’s gimmick is really
just that. But sometimes, today’s gimmick
can be tomorrow’s must-have product.
When Google Glass was revealed there was
a lot of sneering at these stupid-looking,
sci-fi specs that no one in their right mind
would wear. Many people call them a
gimmick, and say that they will fail.


Innovation is defined as something new or
different introduced. It is the front edge of
creation, of having original ideas or of
finding new ways to make existing things
better.

I don’t know if Project Glass will fail or not.
Neither does Google. But it is trying to
make this new technology succeed — and
that is the crucial thing. Innovation is about
looking to the future and trying to create it.

It is not just letting the future happen, it is
making it happen.
Having that startup spirit
When Google announced back in early
2011 that co-founder Larry Page would be
replacing Eric Schmidt as CEO, he was
quoted in the NY Times as saying “One of
the primary goals I have is to get Google to
be a big company that has the nimbleness
and soul and passion and speed of a start-
up.”

The principles and processes of a startup
don’t usually gel with that of a global
corporation like Google. The risks and
rewards are completely different, and the
spirit that is necessary to found a startup is
not usually apparent in big companies. An
established company doesn’t need the act
of faith that startup founders need, the
belief that their idea can be a success and
make money.

But, maybe Google really is like a startup.
When FastCompany‘s Chuck Salter visited
the Googleplex back in 2008, he
observed that “whether they’re designing
search for the blind or preparing meals for
their colleagues, these people feel that their
work can change the world.”
Salter mentioned Google’s “creative
fearlessness”, something which has
become even more evident over the four
years since that interview with Google’s
truly forward-thinking projects such as
Project Glass and the driverless cars.

Recognizing the seeds of greatness
Many people have criticised Google, saying
that all their best ideas are things that they
have bought, and not created. Google’s
prized Android OS was in fact developed by
Andy Rubin as part of the startup that he
himself founded, until it was acquired by
Google in 2005.

But this is innovation. The initial act of idea
generation and creation is not an explicit
part of being innovative. By remaining
curious and forward-thinking, Google
recognizes the possibilities of ideas and
products such as Android, and help to
make them happen.

What is your opinion

I suggest.

Stop!

That seems interesting

U can get it naw.
