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.

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

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.

Okay, not just me then. Newegg? Recommendations?

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.

What I mean is that iOS feels like an appliance to me--like a video game system. You have discrete applications that you run but you interact with the applications, not so much the operating system. Android exposes the file system and I feel like I could install a command shell, hook up a keyboard, and it would be a linux distribution (which I realize is pretty much the case).
