[quote author=F.K.O]nice one 4rm Nokia,bt the 512 ram small na.[/quote]Show me any phone in the world made by a western company that has more than 512MB RAM for $180.

lordZOUGA: but windows 8 mobile OS sucks. android for now and for a very long tome.

Do you children have to damn an OS just because you've chosen another one? WP8 is excellent. So is Android. End of Story

abohrandy: IS IT BY SELLING OUT? HOW MANY DID THEY SEll? it could b a free tens of thousands and tey a r here making noise!!!

Microsoft isn't here making noise...

firestar: Oro makes a grave error... He's bluffing... It's for his benefit that he makes that statement being on Sasuke's side.

And another thing, Hashi mentions Sasuke as a potential 'Madara' if he's being ignored...
Would that mean Naruto to be his polar opposite?
Naruto have gained strength from people who believed and sacrifriced for him (i.e. ALL THE ALLIANCE)
and Sasuke wants answers to know whether his longheld desire for vengeance is justifiable.

Like seriously Kishi, what are you trying to point out?

Truth IS stranger than fiction...
But fiction must make sense for all its 'perceived nonsense'.

...

Yep. From where the story is going, you can clearly see the similarities.
Naruto and Sasuke is analogous to Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Two friends/rivals who go different paths. Same thing as Hashirama and Madara. The Younger Son and The Elder son.

Still waiting for the eventual reveal from Kishi that the Uzumaki clan is related to the So6P like the Senju.

I think we all believe Naruto will eventually become the host for the 10 tails...be nice if he gains the rinnegan and can use it to bring back the shinobi killed in this war.

Bawss1: Microsoft's philosophy behind the Surface Pro is very clear, deliver a device that leverages the powers of a laptop with all the advantages of a tablet but if the reports of the battery life(~4hrs)are true then, IMO that is a major fail. Imagine shelving out $1000 for a device that is supposedly mobile and still having to be tethered to a power socket for the most part. Obviously they were gunning for the hybrid niche of the tablet market but these short comings may lead buyers to the offerings from the competition.

Anyways I hope these sales are true and profitable for Microsoft, I really want the Surface to be the iPad killer.

Surface Pro has the same battery life as the 11 inch Macbook Air...which is actually better engineering from Microsoft since the Surface Pro is thinner and smaller than the Macbook Air and with a higher res screen.

For most people, a laptop with a 4+ hour battery life is pretty decent. It can't match the long battery life of the ARM powered tablets like the iPad but it's an acceptable trade-off for many for the core i5 CPU.

dsaynt: Lol...seems you pick n choose what u want. I never said the blackberry ecosystem was open...though in terms of open ecosystems its better than the iPhone. As for the fart apps i was only by sacarstic (Hope you know what than means..Lol). Anyways I'm not here to join issues with you. My sole aim was to point out that the Z10 isn't as bad as people make it out. Compared to the S3 and iPhone 5 its greta but then again S4 should be out in April so it would take over again as the king. iPhones are just rip offs in my opinion. Every 6months they add something small that they already had before but dos of their greed they make those apple fanboys go buy new phones every 6months or so. Though I love blackberry, I acknowledge they are still behind the others especially andriod phones. However they are catching up even if its slow. I own both blackberry and andriod phones so I'm in a position to compare. Both great phones but as for iPhones, i reserve my comments(though its obvious i dont like them). In closing, the Z10 would do well in Nigeria till some folks realise no more BIS as we know it...no more unlimited data

I knew what 'sarcastic' meant when you were still drinking breast milk. You spelled it wrong, though

Moving from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5, Apple made it thinner, lighter, made the screen bigger and upped the resolution. They improved the camera, doubled the RAM, upgraded the CPU to a very fast new Soc and upgraded the GPU to market leading specs (better than any Android phone out there). They also added LTE. Don't buy into the silly narrative that the updates to the iPhone 4S were very small.

nobody said the Z10 was not a very good device. just temper your expectations.

For all those arguing, please remember that Madara told the Kage the only Hashirama could have stopped him.
So even after he was fully powered up with the Rinnegan - and with Mokuton - he still acknowledged that Hashirama posessed the strength to defeat him.

Ihedinobi: Didn't say I wanted anything from anyone. Besides Hashi acknowledged Itachi too, perhaps that places him in their league (I believe that if Itachi had lived, he'd definitely have Madara eventually).

Hashirama never met Itachi. His comments were about Itachi's worth as a human being and a noble shinobi...not on his strength. Please NEVER for one moment imagine that itachi was anywhere near in strength to Madara or Hashirama. Not even close.

emmatok: Bros, cool down, how dare you compare Christians who don't want Islamic Banking to BOKO-HARAM.

Please tell me what he has achieved has CBN governor.

I dare anything!
Boko Haram is driven by the same intolerance that narrow minded folks like yourself display often. The only difference is that they express this intolerance violently while you simmer quietly in your hatred!

The only people who call Sanusi an 'Islamist' are the usual band of intolerant m0r0ns.
This man is one of the most principled men in Government. You may not like his radical ideas, but to use the whole Islamic Banking saga to label him an 'islamist' smacks of hardcore imbecility. Islamic banking was mooted by Soludo, a Christian. Is soludo an 'islamist'? Islamic banking is in practice in the US and the UK...even post 9/11!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Nairaland saying that the issue is an incendiary issue because of the 'negative connotations of the words Islamic'. Yeah right. Isn't that just the same sort of Intolerance we condemn in Boko Haram?

See one dolt here calling Sanusi a 'cattle rearer' meanwhile the man has achieved more than the fellow's entire family has achieved!

Vicotex: those of una wey dey making noise with SENJU & SENJUTSU no get work ?

According to naruto wikipedia
SENJU is the short pronouncation of SENJUTSU
And again senjutsu means A THOUSAND TECHNICS ,which means senju clan a born with different keke-genkai/touta or normal technics, partially they dont have a special technic like other clans E.G an uchiha must know FIRE element, senju are not like that,they have access to any jutsu ....
According to SAGE frog & JIRAYA they said anyone who can gather/mold/sense nature energy has already outclass other normal ninja and definately you be a SAGE that have access to SENJUTSU, JST LIKE THE JUUBI ,THE JUUBI DONT USE CHAKRA THE JUUBI USES PURE NATURE ENERY

Source: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Senju_Clan

Don't be pathetic.

Naruto wikipedia says no such thing. Senju is the name of the clan and is TOTALLY UNRELATED to Senjutsu.


Senju = clan name meaning 'a thousand techniques'
Senjutsu = Sage Techniques

Bad enough you're misinformed and yet you're lying about the Naruto wiki.

Senjutsu does not mean 'A thousand techniques'.

This image should put to rest all the nonsense about Kabuto and Sage mode

Noiseless2: As we argue there are still tens of thausands of orphaned children of Biafra who were airlifted to Gabon,Sao Tome,Ginue Equatorial and Cote D'ivoir just after the war, just because there parents were killed by the actions of mr.obafemi owolowo and his hausa/fulani masters(yakubu gowon& co)

Yes, we all know there were no Nigerians killed by the Biafran forces /s

take dat: Not every case of a failure to act on one's intentions/decisions is a case of weakness of will. To rescind an unpopular decision is not a sign of weakness!

Then why did he [size=15pt]LIE[/size] that he 'consulted widely' when he did not consult the VC, the University Senate or even take a referendum among the students?


Don't you DARE spin this as a sign of 'greatness' or 'magnanimity'. It was a hare-brained decision he had no right to make. You sycophants and foot-lickers will now spin this as a positive for him.

Nonsense.

That is how your President was there taking credit for Nigeria's nations cup win whereas if FIFA had not forced him to rescind his decision to withdraw Nigeria from Football, we would not have been in this Nations Cup and we would have had our football set back years and years.

dsaynt: Lmao! you r all very funny. Bickering over typos etc. Anyways there is a blackberry Z10 and a Q10(which should be due early April). As for speed tests etc, depends on the conditions which it is tested on. Blackberry has never been strong in the USA but it is quite strong in the emerging markets (indoneasia, Nigeria etc). When it comes to pros and cons, all phones have them. The iPhone for instance would never appeal to me becos of its closed ecosystem and the whole tiresome 'everything must go through iTunes' experience. Its a good phone all the same and hardly ever crashes. Android phones on the other hand are open hence has its security challenges (malware anyone?), blackberry might not have the best user experience(like the iPhone) or customability (like Andriod phones) but it does what it does well best...handling emails etc (the iPhone etc still come 2nd in this regards). As for Apps...the so called huge iPhone app world is not actually all that...most are duplicates and useless...whats with a fart app? If you prune them down to useful apps you find out that iPhone apps and android apps are aroubd the same number(blackberry is not up to them but close-if u r judging on useful apps). Thats my own twopence on the phones. In conclusion the Z10 is a lovely phone (and I know naija peeps....they'd buy it in droves)

The ignorance is strong in this one.
You complain about iPhone having a 'closed ecosystem' yet you do not realize that BB10 isn't that much more open. There is no malware problem on Android if you restrict your apps to Google Play apps and sideload only from reputable sources.

With BB10, emails are treated just the same way as iOS and Android right now. No more routing through BB servers.

Still talking about fart apps in 2013? You're laughable. No Instagram, no Skype, loads of banking apps, thousands of popular games, no support from many many fitness hardware, No Microsoft smartglass, no plans from Sony to support 'second device' functionality with the PS4...

The Z10 will do well in Nigeria. There's no doubt about that. It's a pretty good phone. I should know, I've got one. But it's not better than the likes of the S3 and note II...and it's going head to head with much more powerful phones with more mature OSes.

tayoccu: Humor me, where else would dey have learnt it (it is called senjutsu remember)? On nairaland?

WTF is up with you people that read the manga and yet don't understand?!

Kabuto uses Senjutsu too. Did he learn it from Myoboku?! Nope! He learnt it from the snakes in the Ryuchi cave. And that's just the two KNOWN sources.

Naruto = Sage mode from Toads (Mt. Myoboku)
Kabuto = Sage mode from Snakes (Ryuchi cave)


For all you know, there could be Senjutsu to be learnt from the slugs sef.

ishmael: Have u ever wondered why some poly graduates know more than d uni grads? Some poly students and grads even teach uni students some courses that they may be offering. Eg accounting courses. Ever wondered why? Can u teach what u don't know?

The bitterness is strong in this one

Feraz: Anyway, this chapter opened my eyes to Hashirama's power.....that being said, how would Kakuzu's village send him to kill Hashirama? No wonder he flew back to the village with immediate speed......

I was thinking about that the other day. Kakuzu even with over 100 years of experience was not THAT much more powerful than Team Kakashi and certainly not top 3 in strength in Akatsuki. No freaking way he would have been able to scratch Hashirama in a fight.

I just assume that he was sent to assassinate Hashirama. A weaker guy can sneak up and kill a stronger guy with the element of surprise.

For example Naruto was able to defeat Pain with guile and strategy (killing the reviving guy with the element of surprise, Changing the absorbing guy to stone with an unforseen Nature chakra etc)

[quote author=SIR cum a lot]look this is just the beginning the real battle hasn't started yet and everybody is acting like hashi mop the floor with madara and how can this be an upgrade when the battle was years ago ?wetin that buddha like statue ? wetin dey dere besides isn't budhhaism the like the religion of tranquility wetin the tin dey find for battle field sef ?[/quote]Madara pretty much admitted in this chapter that Hashirama used to surpass him in all their previous battles.

Remember that this is Hashirama alone fighting Madara + Kyuubi. And he still feels confident he can kill Madara if he wishes.

We've seen Asuma and that bald monk (Chiriku of the fire temple) use Amidha buddha techniques, so why are you surprised?

Parnassuss: Bruv, I will advice you try to keep it civil when addressing another person, its a cartoon and I was expressing frustration at it not you or anyone.


That said, what I am complaining about is not so much the theme but the path he (Kishi) used to arrive there:
"They were friends, the uchiha kid was lacking in some way but the senju kid tried to meet him half way and the uchiha kid started to see 'I will never be as strong as him' so the uchiha kid starts to beef and suddenly transfigures into a cow." or worse, "You took my girl/boy!"

I'm tired of hearing this, why can't they meet on the battle field, weren't they scions of rival clans?? What are the odds that enemies would live so close to each other their kids would interact? Did u ever see Naruto meet any kid from the Hidden Stone village as a youngster Abeg it's my fault for trying to apply logic to so an illogical show, I watch Naruto for the fights ONLY now, I was so disappointed I actually rushed to the Bleach manga which seems to have picked up some interesting points now...Zaraki Kenpachi just learned the name of his Zampaktou!

According to what we already know, Hashirama and Madara founded Konoha, which was the first of the 'hidden villages'. There were no villages then, so i can't understand your point about a hidden stone ninja being in close proximity with a hidden leaf ninja.

Like I said before, the whole naruto theme is premised on this generation strife between friends, envy, betrayal and redemption. Everything is being set us as an ultimate clash between the Younger son and the Elder son. Body vs eyes.

It is not surprising the story is going down this path.

Z8: emm excuse me but there is a Q10

If you need help, I can assist you in acquiring glasses. Show me where I said there's no Q10.

UncleJJ: the new bb are cool. some people drive beamers, others benzes.

the x10 and z10 are definately going to be hotsellers. in the us and ng. regardless of what people say. if ur a bb owner and love the messenger and are interestes in the new properties and capabilties of new mobile os'es.

you should get the z10, i dont see tje x10 selling that hard. the bb messenger has now become the yahoo messenger of the new technology era.

lil sis is getting one next month....jump on the bandwagon.

p.s...get a white one if you can.....sleek and classy...

The Z10 will not be a hotseller in the US. Nigeria and South Africa, yes.

There's nothing like the X10

I've got a white Z10

[quote author=omo_to_dun]Haba, Death Penalty for kidnapping? That is too harsh. I would support that only if life was lost in the process. 20 years in prison should do it.[/quote]See this massive dunce. You don't know how traumatizing a kidnap experience can be. You don't know that many kidnappers physically harm their victims
You don't know that armed robbery is punishable by death in Nigeria simply because a weapon is used, yet you want kidnapping which is carried out with weapons and which causes more psychological damage to be given 20 years max!

You must be a kidnapper or are friendly with kidnappers.

Lumia 900 for 90k?!

Parnassuss: DAFUQ did I just read

Shite this is effen predictable it is annoying! It happened with Danzo and the 3rd, Sasuke and Naruto, Kakashi and Obito...why the hell can't Kishi do something original in a background story, in fact the only realistic origin story of a villain is Orochimaru's not even Nagato's reasoning made ANY sort of sense. So Madara is just jealous of Hashirama?

Gimme a break abeg!

WTF are you babbling about?!
We've known from the early days that Madara hated and envied Hashirama. Hated him as a rival and admired him for his power. We've known that Hashirama won out in the power tussle to be the first Hokage. We've known Madara exiled himself and came back to try to overthrow Hashirama.

You'll need to read Naruto more carefully...the story is similar because it follows a similar theme of friendship and bonds and redemption. The strife between both sides started since the Younger Son vs the Older Son of the So6P. It moved on to Madara vs Hashirama and is now being played out in Sasuke vs Naruto. That was EXACTLY what Tobi told naruto, that he's destined to face Sasuke.

That's just how the entire story is set up...surprising that you don't know this.

redsun: It is a vision that could stop colomentality nigerians from bothering with oyinbo racist football clubs like chelsea. All nigerian football needs to sell it big and bring in the hard cash that Africans waste following their racist masters clubs.

Football is big business and African fields are yet untapped.

Consumers will always vote with their naira. Let the clubs and the NPL make the league up to scratch and viewers will come. Until then, it's useless trying to put people on a guilt trip.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]The bolded is‎​ exactly what Fashola is‎​ saying. I wonder how some folks read?

So many unintelligent folks didn't even read the entire article before typing thrash.[/quote]It doesn't matter whether he's talking about corporate sponsors or Government contribution.
Bottom line is, he thinks footballers should earn at least a million naira per month. he does not think a resident doctor in Lagos should earn as much as their Federal Govt counterparts. That's all we need to know.

You know what separates you and me? I criticize shittiness and idiocy where I see it. I do not reserve my ire strictly for the PDP and paper over any cracks elsewhere. You would do well to flee from hypocrisy and join me in true opposition to injustice!

Elxandre: Come on that was a typo. I meant z10
And i of course know its not on the same level with an sgs3 or iphone5. I just liked the new os with its brand new interface.. it actually has some power in it. 2gb ram aint a joke as well as having the fastest browser on any phone.. Pls get well informed before making some posts

So you fell for the marketing speak hook, line and sinker? It has the highest HTML5 test scores (which can easily be artificially coded). that does not translate to 'fastest browser on any phone'. in the Sunspider javascript browser benchmarks, the Z10 scored lower than most other flagship phones from 2012.

You're asking me to get 'well informed'. Hehe! Unlike you, i don't have to go to GSMArena before I can talk authoritatively on the Z10.

Very very daft comment from Fashola. Is this man trolling us?
He allows Doctors to go on strike because he says Lagos can't pay them the measly cash they are asking for and now he's babbling about 1m salary for NPL players.

Sad to see such a daft comment. I thought he was whining about doctors earning more than some of his aides? Why so eager to pay players much higher than any teacher in Lagos with 20 years experience will ever see?

Also the Z10 isn't that hot featurewise. It's less powerful than the iPhone 5 and several Android devices and lacks the sheer number of quality apps.

Such a shame that you don't even know the phone you're rooting for.

GSMArena reviewed the Z10 and you're here babbling about the Q10.
