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.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
