QUOTE(haya @ Feb 21 2011, 10:06 AM) Why would you want to do that? Go into JB Hifi et all and/or the online Apple store and buy it straight from Apple. (My reservations on these tablet like devices notwithstanding) thought there was an option like the garage sale. get it cheaper than retail. haha..anyways thanks! ordered it from apple already. =D

QUOTE(zeeyang @ Mar 1 2011, 05:49 PM) Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can tell me more about the life in Adelaide. From what I heard it can be quite dry there sometimes, and the humidity is very low. (cracked lips? My friend said that his relative in Adelaide have to apply lips moisture all the time lol) Does it rain often or rain is sacred?  haha! i've been in adelaide since the 10th of feb 2011 bro. for me it's alright. as long as you drink lots of water u should be alright. from what statistics show, it rains alot during winter and seldom during summer. it's dry during summer and wet in winter. for me the lip balm is not necessary but i do use moisturizer. and drink ALOT of water.  stay cool in the heat. it's not really that hot though. you can google adelaide's temperature now and see what temperature it is, the humidity levels and all. it's pretty cool now, down to 14.8 celsius.. this afternoon it reached 24 tops..  u planning to come to adelaide?

QUOTE(immabee @ Mar 1 2011, 06:55 PM) Perth's weather is drying me crazy. As I have asked a few individuals about summer in Perth, they would see this time was one of the hottest summers ever. Thought my uni library would have air-conditioners everywhere as they wouldn't really need to use during spring, autumn and especially winter. But then, not that much.. just room temperature. Hoping to see some changes in season in days to come. =D was in perth for 3 days.. mid-day. first day, i missed adelaide already.. haha!

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Mar 3 2011, 03:30 PM) People need to understand that the ipad, is just a wonderful TOY. Good marketing, good aesthetically, good gimmicks, good fun and entertainment... but meh practicality in terms of working and productivity. Try typing a 5000 word essay on the ipad and you'll have so much fun. Get a proper laptop for your studies - it's better than a desktop since you can lug it around campus. yeap. i got a macbook pro already. and i have to agree. iPad is very useless and it does not help in studies at all technically. now i just wanna sell it. if only there's somewhere i can post up to sell besides eBay Added on March 3, 2011, 5:29 pmAustralia is awesome!!! It's Autumn!! Enjoy your study period in Australia!! And if your English is below par, please do increase your English language proficiency... =D cheers!

QUOTE(december88 @ Mar 3 2011, 09:54 PM) Rain often during winter time, thunderstorm very rare. If you cycle, check the weather and used public transport if it rains. Try your uni email. Call Apple and ask if you can return it. They have good customer service, don't have to wait long to speak to someone. BTW did you know all the new science undergrad at Adelaide Uni will received a free ipad this year? All the best. can return to apple just because i find it useless? o.o i didn't know i can do that. haha.. and yup! even when i was in malaysia, it came out on the newspapers, AU is the first uni in Australia to incorporate such a leap in technology. LOL! I even saw some people from uniSA posting that they're not even sure uniSA knows what an iPad is... x.x

QUOTE(kavan @ Mar 9 2011, 10:31 PM) hey! i'm using Three. if my phone is on national roaming and i use it to make phone calls/sms, do i need to pay extra other than my cap? or it will deduct from my cap. To unlock my iphone, is it free? hey man! as long as you don't SURF the net and use the data then it'll be included in your cap. if you get out of reception from 3, you'll roam on to telstra and sms, calls will still be included in your cap.  unlocking, check out http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/ for information.
