It’s called Flipboard. http://www.flipboard.com/
It transform the way you read social news. There are many social news you can read, but I use it mainly for twitter. The Facebook connection is overcapacity so I cant load it in yet.

Here are some screen capture:

The “Contents” page of the Flipboard.

When you tap on the “Twitter Box”, it searches for tweets in your account.
It will pull out and expand the tweets!

It is clever enough to randomly expand some tweets. You can see as you ‘flip’ through the pages (like how you flip pages in iBook), it shows older tweets.

This pages shows just the usual tweets probably because there was no URL in their tweets.

If you tap on the tweets, it will ‘pop up’ and expand the tweet.
You can then reply or see who else has replied to a particular tweet.

How cool is that?
You will never read tweets the old way again!

If you want to see more, this YouTube is from Flipboard themselves.

NUSOPEN is ‘not so secure’ and slower, so most staff and students do not want to use it. They would prefer to connect to NUS. But NUS uses PEAP protocol. So connecting to it is not so simple. If you want to connect to the NUS Network using the NUS SSID, here are the instructions.

You would first need to download this file. (Filename: NUSWifi.mobileconfig, you can view it using any text editor to see the contents, to prove that it’s not anything malicious)
To get the file into your iPad, the easiest way is to email it to yourself.

When you open your email, tap on the file and it will prompt you for installation.

When you tap on “Install”, the following pop up appears.
Usually “Install Now” appears, but since I have installed it before, it says “Replace”.

When prompted to enter  username, enter your NUSNET ID.
(you do not need the NUSSTU or NUSSTF)
Update Aug 2010: You might now need to add in NUSSTU\NUSNETID or NUSSTF\NUSNETID

Next, enter your NUSNET password.
(the password is saved on your iPad and not sent anywhere)

It will save the info you entered into your iPad and the profile is installed.
Tap on Done.

Turn on your Wi-Fi, and select NUS.

A prompt appears and it asks if you want to accept the certificate.
I wonder why the certificate’s CA is not verified. You might want to ask Computer Centre.
(Probably to save cost, they are using cheapo certs!)

That is it! You are connected to the NUS Wifi SID: NUS.
