A lot of this sort of stuff wil be coming out in the next day or so.

Calendar Publishing

Mac OS X version 10.2 includes iCal, a calendar that lets you create work, personal, and group calendars using separate or integrated views. With .Mac it's easy to publish a calendar to the Internet for your family, your community group, or yourself. Other iCal users can download your calendar and they can even subscribe for automatic updates.

Yep, and indeed the more software the better. Apple will get teh $50 dollars out of me cause it's a not a bad deal, but if they don't add anything worthwhile, they won't be getting $100 out of me.

do AOL own Mac or sumthing? if they dont..maybe i think theyll get taken over

They are not ripping off anything. It is not an online service, it is a program you install that imports data from various calendar sources. You can post your information online if you have a .mac membership or a WebDAV server.

You can't compare iCal to that POS MSN Calendar. MSN Calendar is only web based and has nothing related with iCal.

Interesting! Looks cool. We'll see how it runs.

I think you can easily compare .mac to MSN 8. Both provide a slew of similar services (more storage space, photo space, email anti-viral scanner etc), and take advantage of the power (in microsoft terms: "richness") of a desktop machine.

The MSN 8 Calendar blows the web-based version away. I like it better than Outlook's calendar application.

Apple has had the iDisk service in place for awhile...while the MSN Communications team is still working on their unified storage platform. Still got another year to wait for Microsoft's hard drive in the sky to be released.

At any rate, it looks like the .mac service ($99/yr) will be cheaper than a year-long MSN 8 BYOA subscription.

I dont know where you get your numbers, but I use pocketpc ever since my palm3c couldnt cut it and was slow as hell. I like an OS that upgrades ever so offen not once every 3 years. I like all the ADD ons availble for pocketpc. I like doing instant messaging via my pocketpc, can palm do that? and even if it could its too damn slow.

What makes you think even more is Microsoft, with 95% market share of Desktop PCs announced .NET Services 2 years ago and has little to nothing tangible to show for it.

And a company with 5% market share delivers something at their announcement of .mac and has many tangible services available TODAY, not.."in the future"

Kinda makes you think...

Yeah, Instant messaging is on the Palm (AIM). ADD ons? Try 13,000 applications for Palm OS.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
