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.
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.
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.
Merry Christmas Java developers – from Santa Steve! Java SE 6 Developer Preview 8 is now available for Leopard via the Apple Developer Connection. You need to be an ADC member to access this download, but registration for the basic online membership is free and provides access for the Java SE 6 preview.
Java 6 Developer preview now available for Leopard
Finally! Unfortunately it requires a 64-bit capable Intel-based Mac (a Core 2 Duo or Xeon) so no luck for us still on G4s, but it’s progress!
The ultimate system monitoring widget, consisting of nine sections which can be shown or hidden.
It features highly detailed information on CPUs (up to eight cores), memory, hard drives, IP and external IP, bandwidth, battery, wireless keyboard and mouse battery, uptime, temperatures, and fans. You’ll know exactly what’s going on inside your Mac!
Apple – Downloads – Dashboard Widgets – iStat pro
A must have widget. I’m not sure how I survived without it!
Since upgrading to Leopard, I’ve been ‘trying’ to use spaces like I used to use virtual desktops but it just wasn’t working, until today. With Jesse Newland’s new applescripts coupled with quicksilver, I can now do some of the things I used to do in the pre-leopard days; namely quickly sending an app to another space.
In March 2006 Apple defused a security problem in Apple Mail that made it possible to inject disguised malignant code. In Leopard, the patch was apparently forgotten. This means that you can inadvertently start an executable by double-clicking a mail attachment that looks like a JPEG image file.
In March 2006 Apple corrected this problem. On a current installation of the Tiger OS, Apple Mail issues a warning that the supposed image file is a program and is to be opened with Terminal. Apple apparently either did not incorporate this update into Leopard, or did not do it correctly. In tests performed by heise Security, the Terminal window opened directly in most cases when the attachment to the Emailcheck test email was opened. In only one email this occurred the first time the attachment was opened, but subsequent double-clicks suddenly caused the expected confirmation dialogue to be displayed. The test emails are identical except for the subject line and some administrative information in the header.
Apple Mail in Leopard with the same old error – heise Security
It’s serious that they missed to include the fix in Leopard and even more serious that they didn’t update the test specifications to make sure that this problem didn’t not return.
