NTFS-3G is an open source cross-platform implementation of the Microsoft Windows NTFS file system with read-write support. NTFS-3G often uses the FUSE file system interface, so it can run unmodified on many different operating systems. It is runable on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, BeOS, QNX, Windows NT[citation needed], WinCE, Nucleus, VxWorks, Haiku,[1]  and Mac OS X.[2]  It is licensed under either the GNU General Public License or a proprietary license. It is a partial fork of ntfsprogs  and is under active maintenance and development.

NTFS-3G was introduced by one of the senior Linux NTFS developers, Szabolcs Szakacsits (IPA: [ˈsɒbolt͡ʃ ˈsɒkɒt͡ʃit͡ʃ]), in July 2006. The first stable version was released on 2007-02-21 as version 1.0. The developers of NTFS-3G later formed a company, Tuxera Ltd., to further develop the code. NTFS-3G is now the free "community edition",[1] while Tuxera NTFS is the proprietary version.

By the way, I remember that we've got to format our drive to FAT32 so that we could use it on our mac. THe thing is, I think I read somewhere that it'll somehow limit us to transfer 3GB only right? Is there any ways to overcome this?

Do I need prepared something before I buy by edu price?
Im just form4, can buy?

that is FAT32 la

In short:
If you need to share disk on Mac and Windows use FAT32 or NTFS. FAT32 limitation is that per file can have only 4GB. No way overcoming that. NTFS trick is that you need to have another software installed as well as explained above.
If you don't have the need to have the disk being shared on Windows then native mac all the way I guess

Can. In short anyone studying or working in education sector is eligible. You would fall under K-12 category

from what i understand,
if u want no 3rd party crap, then fat32 is the way to go for mac to mac transfer...
meaning, format the drive to fat32 format not NTFS...
the good thing is that fat32 can be read on mac as well as pc...so u wun hv compatibility issues...
the bad thing is that u can transfer files bigger than 4gb on fat32...
the option u hv if u transfer large files alot is using a NTFS format provided u use ntfs-3g on mac.. that solves the little bit of prob...

So you mean, if I format it into NTFS, I will be having compatibility issues? and yea. lets say I've finish calibrating my battery for the 1st time, should I continue plug my mbp with the adapter or I need to unplug it and use the battery instead? Can I plug it all the time? Cause I'll be using my MBP for a long time every day.

Roger, but yangz said that he changed from the short to long socket, so I thought when he said socket .. he meant power strip (aka extension) .. probably you're right, he might meant the plug instead..

I dont know what's with my battery. The capacity is small compared to others.

hey, if I want dual external monitor.
Which cable I should buy? The apple online store so many cable.
Confuse 

Depending on the monitor, you might want to get the correct mini display adapter .. what kind of monitor do you have?
