Menu-separators in Mac OS X (annoyances)
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Macbook Pro. Firstly, let's get something out of the way: I do think it's a dazzlingly beautiful OS, but here's something I find pretty annoying:
Menu separators
The screenshot below shows an example of a menu with separators in 3 different Operating Systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Mac OS X 10.6.5
Sometimes it just so happens that I'm clicking around so quickly that I accidentally click on the separator. On Windows and Ubuntu this is fine - it ignores it and keeps the menu open. In Mac OS X, the menu disappears (as if you've clicked on something that's supposed to be clickable)
Anybody else find this annoying?
Synchronize Google Calendar on iPhone
Note: This should also work on the iPod Touch
iPhone OS 3.0 introduced support for CalDAV and ICS - that means it's really simple to sync with your Google Calendar:
Start by going into Settings:
Go into "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then "Add account..."
Add a CalDAV account and fill the details:
If you check your calendar, it should sync
You can also add all your other calendars by adding a "Subscribed Calendar"
Start by going to the settings for the calendar you want to add:
Click on the "ICAL" link to get your Calendar's private address
It's usually a really long link, so start by putting it under your drafts or email it to yourself. Add another Calendar account (not a CalDAV this time, but a "subscribed Calendar" Then copy-and-paste into the Server input box specifying URL to the .ics file)
