Please refrain from installing Mac OS 10.7 beta

Dear Students

We have received a number of feedback from those who have downloaded Mac OS 10.7 Beta (Lion) that the beta version is not quite stable.

There are a few problems encountered with the beta version:

1) MacBook not able to go to "sleep" properly
2) MacBook "fan" will spin very fast
3) Not able to boot up

We would like to advise all students that the Apple Centre does not support Beta version of OS and therefore any restoration (apart from data recovery cost) is subject to charges.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
ICT Helpdesk

Let's Name Our Own SST Street!

SST will be moving to our permanent site by the end of this year and we have the wonderful privilege to name a street.

We are inviting you to contribute your ideas. The student behind the winning entry gets the honour of having named a street in Singapore! (* This is not a competition and no prizes will be awarded).

Please read through the guidelines provided and submit your entry by 16 March 2011 (Wed).



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guidelines on Naming Streets
• A street must be at least 60 metres long to qualify for a name.
• No street shall be named after a living person.
• The use of ‘Lorong’ and ‘Jalan’ is to be avoided.

Some Consideration Factors
• Location of the street
• Nature of the developments served
• Historical background of the area
• Physical attributes of the street e.g. length, width, configuration
• Ease of identifying the location by the public

General Principles
• Hierarchy (in descending order):
Boulevard > Avenue > Way > Highway > Road > Street > Drive > Walk > Lane
• Link – for road linkages
• Close – for cul-de-sac roads
• Loop/Crescent/Ring Road – for curved roads
• Heights/Rise – can be used selectively for roads located on higher grounds
