  1. Are you saying that Citi has a good process and easy/ convenient to transfer?

    Yes. I know of no other way that is better to internationally transfer to Thailand instantly that gives a better rate and no additional fee.

    I am paid in USD in Singapore. USD->THB transfer to Thailand. Cant remember what the rate was yesterday I think 30.85 but I got 30.55 using citi.

    So is there another method to use that offers a better rate with on fees to transfer funds to Thailand?? (Preferably instant?)

  2. magsafe connector on machine and the actual connector. Clean the dirt and crap off them both using cotton bud and alcohol. 9 times out of 10 dodgy charging indication is due to crap n the connection for magsafe.

    Seen so many claim that the magsafe has problems when its just dirty.

    Secondly a Reset of PRAM and SMC on the machine can help with battery charging issues.

  3. 1. Take empty bag.

    2. Go to airport take cheap flight to Hongkong

    3. Buy whatever nespresso machine you want.

    4. Have a few beers in Kowloon or Wanchai

    5. Airport Express back to airport

    congrats you just had a day in HK a few beers an airplane ride and a brand new nespresso machine all for less than half price they charge in Thailand.

  4. The new Haswell Macbook Air's have PCIe2 SSD drives with 700MB/s read and 700MB/s write speeds (Double SATA speeds) so even if your machine uses the swap file it would be super fast anyway and near unnoticeable.

    Could just buy it and try. They are cheap enough if not enough just resell it or buy here:

  5. At the beginning of the hearing, Senators are allowed to make whatever opening statements they wish. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) gave a spirited defense of Apple, saying he was "offended" by the hearing.


    "Tell me a politician who is up here and doesn't try to minimize his taxes… Tell me what Apple has done is illegal. I am offended by a government… that convenes a hearing to bully one of America's greatest success stories… If anyone should be on trial here, it should be Congress. I frankly think the committee should apologize to Apple."


    Instead of Apple executives, we should have brought in a giant mirror. This problem is solely and completely caused by our tax code. This committee should look in the mirror. "I find it abominable."

  6. What model and year is the macbook pro.

    Possibly overheating problem (Graphics). There was the notorious NVidia GPU problems on older model macbook pro's

    If you have replace the hard drive. Done a clean install with no third party applications. Theres not much else to try except a replacement logic board.

    Install iStats or iStats Menu look at Temperatures and also CPU load.

    Try a SMC and PRAM reset as per apple instructions in support for your model.

    You could try replacing the DDR SODIMMS incase of faulty ram module they are cheap enough now.

    But once you have done all that and still issues then out of luck. You could get your own logic board from a parts supplier or ebay. cheaper.

  7. I love Villa but you do have to be careful.

    we ordered 8 australian tenderloins cut to 2 inches each. Over 3k worth

    Got home opened the pack smelt rotten and when you pressed the meat it just sat their with a hole in it.

    Scary thing is it was the "Butcher" who opened the pack and cut the steaks.

    Took them back fresh pack brought down from upstairs and many apologies...

    Been caught out at Villa with best before dates on many occasions now.
