What does a calendar widget do to market to a mom? I'm kinda scared.

"Keep your family connected" type messaging, meal planning tools, sponsoring mommy-blogs and parenting podcasts. Nothing to be scared of, I don't think.

A widget has podcasts? I was kinda just looking for something that read existing Google calendars. Not an app. It does use Google calendars, right? Will I have to wade through a forest with a machete to get it to do just that?

No, I mean they sponsor parenting podcasts - that's who they advertise to.

My HTC calendar widget integrates everything--both google calendars and the facebook birthday and events calendars, plus whatever is synced from my PC.

There's a month view, an agenda view (both full-screen), and a 4x1 that lists one or two upcoming appointments. It's fine for what I need.

Oh, okay, this probably isn't for you, then. The option to sync it in with Google Calendar is pretty simple. [link]

But it's not a back and forth. It shows up as a synced, uneditable, calendar event. I'm playing now to see how easily it updates once I update over on Google.

The widgets in Honeycomb and Gingerbread that come with the OS (including whatever came on with Touchwiz and Sense) were just fine. Naked ICS is no happy for me.

Yeah, all I need is widget, not app.

I really like the widgets that come with Business Calendar, but that's mostly because I really like Business Calendar. Best Google Calendar syncing calendar program I've ever used, though I hear CalenGoo is nice too.

You ever get the feeling a company slid sideways into their software niche? Touchdown is the only Nitrodesk application I've ever had any use for, and it's AWFUL. Unfortunately, it's the only Exchange solution approved by my bosses for Android, but I've never seen a worse Android interface on any serious app.

Not only were they persistently uninformed when I tried to ask them about Tasker/Locale (seriously, we both have Google), but now I'm at their website because I can't find out within the software how to set my signature or change my Exchange server setting, and the help is in PDF form. I'm on a tablet, so it's not the worst, but when your biggest app is for the phone form factor, WTF PDF?

Also, really, I'm not supposed to have to go the help documents (which are 5 separate PDFs) to find either of those two functions. It's not supposed to be complicated, and using the "menu" option would be a great leap forward for usability. I would assume it's a port, but I can't imagine what it was ported from (and why they thought wood grain was a good look--I need to find a new skin, stat--my tablet feels like a station wagon now).

setting up xubuntu on my downstairs computer. Booted from CD. Created a connection to wpa wireless connection with proper password. Does not seem to connect with either infrastructure or ad-hoc. Thing is does not seem to be trying to connect and failing, just not trying. Is there some way to force it to try to connect?

Shit. The FBI thinks I might be a terrorist.

FBI tells net cafe owners that TOR users might be terrorists

Icecube sez, "Are you concerned about your online privacy? Do you shield your laptop from view of others? Do you use various means of hiding your IP address? Do you use any encryption at all like PGP? That means you are probably a terrorist according to the FBI. These are just some of the activities that are suggested indicators of terrorism according to a flyer being distributed entitled 'Communities Against Terrorism' You can find a PDF version here entitled 'Internet Cafes'"

I think the solution is for more people to use encryption.
