Just curious... but with Macs, is there something you can use for MS Office files? And is there a good torrent p2p client? Now that I'm not gaming, that's all I use laptops for... work and torrents.

I'm looking for a new laptop but although I like how the Macbooks look, I have zero clue on Macs... Considering Macs this time around as any Windows laptop with equivalent Macbook form factor and battery life are way more expensive (like Thinkpad Carbon or Sony Z-series).

Initially I was comparing Macs and non-Macs laptop. I gave a "big" picture thought which then led me to get a Mac, reluctantly.  Apple has successfully created an ecosystem for its hardware, which unfortunately, I am an unconscious victim. I have a few iPhones and iPads, the ever-confusing iCloud accounts, and potentially AppleTv. I hope the yet to be explored conveniences of staying in the ecosystem would facilitate the crappy iTunes streaming of my devices, seamlessly.

I have since narrowed down to MBP and MBAir. Similarly, my applications are for web surfing, Microsoft office works (light), photo-editing, movies, torrents, pdfs, and lots of pdfs. Proprietary rights (software) are strongly enforced under Apple and I do foresee paying quite a premium for these. This applies to Microsoft office suite but the availability of "Parallel OS", standalone OS, and Microsoft365 will still allow Mac-user to work on office-based projects. The only issue is the price.

Thoughts?

Does anybody know if a Mac would connect seamlessly to an Android? Does it open in a file manager that lets you access any file or directory on the Android?

Thanks. Good rundown. Yup heard of Netflix and it's cumbersome to setup the VPN as well as maintaining it outside of US.

Just wondering, does your MBA heat up easily? Do you need a cooling pad?

Wanted to change some pocket money for year end trip but snaking queues in Arcade during lunch hours. All these rich people bringing few millions savings go and change. So pro can know now is the peak.

Hi guys,

Has anyone come across the SG employer contributing to employee's MY EPF?
And in tandem the employee's contribution is also deducted from the salary to MY EPF?

hmm... if i remember correctly the expenses and also the medical report have to be borne by employer.
also watch out if anyone applied PR successfully, DO NOT allow employer to deduct employer contribution from your salary.
my ex company tried to do that, and i have to get them on conference call and get a direct answer from MOM that its against the employment law before they agree to pay their share.

Anyway do LYN have a SG club or smthn? 

Hi, I will be starting to work in January.
Refer to my offer letter, there is a sentence stated that

"During the continuance of your employment, you shall be paid a monthly salary of xxxx, subject to the deduction of such amount in respect of your contribution to the CPF (if applicable) or any amount that the company may be entitled to deduct by law."

Is this meant that if I got PR, the employee and employer contribution to the CPF, both will deduct from my salary?

Thank you.

or u can check your corporate mobile plans?
with my previous company, i pay S$7 to add 3G data and my monthly quota is 30GB. Cannot use finish one. At most i use 1gb a month only. haha.
my ex company got bargaining power with singtel. thats why can get 30gb.

Try mobile broadband if don't want the hassle. I survived on mobile broadband for years.

PR can lock 1 room and rent out the whole unit la. no problem with that.

can do anything, just dont get caught loh...
the correct way is to declare, and be prepared to be taxed.

I heard the locked one room no longer working. HDB will require the landlord to occupy the room. My friend who recently relocated to USA facing this problem. He cannot rent his flat because of the MOP and the worse part is he is not fulfilling the MOP as he is not considered occupying the flat for this period.

Anyone know if it's possible to online re-print Entry Permit for PR? I google and poke all around ICA website only can find re-entry permit eService, but not the first original Entry Permit reprint

Login and choose last option "Print REP". You get the same thing as the one given during you completed the PR formality (at least for mine)

There's no entry permit, only re-entry permit right?
