I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm looking at Business Calendar on Google Play (Who came up with that name? It's really meaningless and bland. I can't remember it without going back to look. I just scroll through the apps until the middle, looking for the shopping bag.) and people seem excited by it.

I'm not mad at the default calendar, although I have to use Touchdown for work Exchange, and the widgets that display that are limited--there's only so much use I can get out of any other app's widgets, other than Executive Assistant, which integrates with Touchdown and Calendar. It's...so so.

Some of the copy on the Business Calendar page is irritating. You can't have a fully functional free version with extra features on the paid one. Fish or shit in the pot.

But Gris--I can't tell--do you prefer CalenGoo to Business Calendar?

Hey. New board.

Calengoo did not exist for Android when I bought Business Calendar, so I've never tried the Android Calengoo. I only used the iPhone version for a few days and not during the school year (when the calendar is most important to me) so I don't think I can do a fair comparison.

I really like Business Calendar. I agree that the name and copy are bad. But it's great, in terms of functionality, interface, and usability. And it has great widgets. Calengoo looks a little prettier, and probably has most or all of the same functionality (and a much better name), so it would probably serve you just as well, but I can't put my guarantee behind it like I can BizCal. And since Calengoo is an iPhone port, it may or may not do as well with widgets and such (again, I don't really know).

It's interesting having an iPod Touch and a Xoom 2. iOS and Andriod feel so different--iOS is like a device operating system that does computer-like stuff while Andriod is like a computer operating system that does device-like stuff.

Hey. New board.

That is an excellent comparison! And you should go back in time and tell Steve Jobs that they feel that different. Or at least tell the commenters at macrumors.com.

I don't know what that means, Gud.

Grrr. My HDMI cable seems to be on the fritz. it just keeps going out. I wiggle, I glare, I wait, then poof. Any idea why this happened? Haven't moved the TV since it was installed. Cable's maybe a year and half old?

Because they do? I replaced mine a few months ago.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My HDMI cable seems to be on the fritz.

Mine is too. Sudden blackout for about four seconds, then back. The cheap ones I bought aren't holding up well, either. I need to order some good ones.
