Sync Google contacts calendar MAC and Nokia

I like Ical for easy interface that it presents on my MAC, but lets face it i am not always carry my mac. A quick search on the net reveled various third party products. I am not too inclined to use them as they clog the system


I found following

I was playing with a Mac the other day and I noticed that the red ball with an X does not actually close a program. If this the way it works or there is an option to make the X close or minimize them?

The red X is to close the window only. To minimize hit he yellow -. If you want to quit a program hit command+q or choose the applications menu and quit.

This is because on Macs the applications aren't restricted to a root window (nor are windows "instances" of an application on a Mac). Most apps present the user with document windows... which are documents in an application and not the application itself.

The default behavior in Windows stems from it's origins as a shell for running GUI apps. Since that time most Windows apps have been rooted in a main (root) window and closing that window closes the application.

This rooted application environment is actually a limitation of Windows rather than a feature. Other operating systems (some going back to the 80's) avoided this limitation, but it has followed Windows from it's earliest incarnations

Going over board with chilies

Many times you hear people take on toll they are familiar with too far. We have many examples in It world, classic one is with XML, but today I was surprise by Indian Defense department using chilies in hand grenades. This is no funny matter BBC has it on their website.


This is supposed to be used for crowd control, but I sound more like crowd torture.
