Swedish Foreign Minister changes to Mac

My respect for the Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt has grown since I read on his blog that he has switched to Mac. He writes the following regarding the switch:

Lite stökigt är det att lära sig att en del saker fungerar lite annorlunda. Men att Word, Powerpoint och andra bekanta program finns med underlättar. Och efter ett tag fungerar allting enklare, snabbare och smidigare. Den nya världen är alldeles definitivt bättre än den gamla.

When do you think I bought my Apple stock?

Let’s Rock a big deal?

So Tuesday next week is Apple’s Let’s Rock event where we most likely get to see some new iPods. There are, however, rumors around that what will happen on Tuesday is a “big deal”.

Sounds interesting, don’t you think? Maybe we get the all-the-music-you-want-from-the-iTunes-music-store-for-a-monthly-fee subscription based music service I dream of!

How to sync Google Calendar and iCal

Maybe you knew that you could get a “secret” url from Google Calendar and use that one in iCal as described in this Syncing Google Calendar With iCal blog post. However, doing it that way it is a one-way sync from Google Calendar into iCal. To remedy this problem multiple external programs are available but they usually come with a price.

I had missed that it is now possible to sync both ways for free by following these quick instructions.

It works perfectly for me so far.

iPhone 3G

Not that much of a surprise that the iPhone 3G was announced during yesterday’s keynote. I’ll have to wait and see what kind of deal the Swedish operator will give us before I decide if I want one or not…

I had expected a bit more from the keynote though, but on the other hand WWDC is a developer conference and this year there is a lot of focus on the iPhone SDK. So naturally they don’t want to ruin the hype around that by introducing some new aluminum MacBook or something similar.

Steve at WWDC

In just a few hours (10am Pacific, 19:00 Swedish time) Steve Jobs will kick off the 2008 Worldwide Developers Conference with the keynote speech.

MacRumors have compiled a roundup of the major rumors circulating before the event.

They are also reporting live from the keynote.
