So I’m at home decompressing after another day at the office slinging code. And I’m sitting at my desk surfing the Internet. Yeah, in fact this is how I decompress! Anyway, I fire up iCal on my PowerBook. After subscribing to some Texas calendars I started thinking about my online Yahoo account. I still use this as a personal calendar. So I get this idea of looking for a way to sync my online Yahoo calendar with iCal on my PB.

The bad news is I didn’t find a way to do this. But I did find something interesting. Every once in a while some magazine covers a story where some company bigwig will make some statement like there was someone from the ’70 that said ‘No one will ever need more than 640K or RAM’.

Well I found something similar http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2002Sep/bma20020925016485.htm

I just love the second sentence (below); This guy is one funny asshole.

“A calendar is hardly a killer app.

This is about as dumb as blogs, the idea of people taking an old concept like writing a diary, and creating an e-version of it.

Now people feel the need not only to talk about what they did in the past, but what they plan on doing in the future.

Also, too bad for me, I use Windows so I cannot see all these fancy calendars. What is the point of creating a fancy calendar when only a handful of people can see them. I guess I will never know what day Christmas arrives at in Canada or Honduras for that matter. I guess I need a Mac for that privaledged information.

The concept of drawing squares and putting numbers in them is not an Apple innovation, just to clear that up also.”
