 New iCal Update With Hidden Features
iCal 1.5.1 is now available via Software Update. According to Apple, this new version is "easier and faster use [sic] with its enhanced Info Drawer, To Do alarms and notes, and more keyboard short cuts". Apparently, leaving words out of the description of the update will also speed up the program (the word "to" has got to be at least 8 bits). I have personally not found speed to be an issue with iCal, as it's a pretty small application - but this update should please those of you who are speed Nazi's.

On top of that, iCal 1.5.1 "also includes improved time zone support and personalized calendar colors". And that's not all! The 2GAMAAW crew was able to discover a few undocumented features of iCal that Apple doesn't seem to want anyone to know about yet. One of these is just a little oddity wherein anytime you syncronize your calendars, some guy named Jeff in Poughkeepsie receives a piece of spam mail. The second feature that our crack team of um ... really good Mac users ... has been able to find is that iCal will now alert you that it's time to go to the nearest Apple Store for the Panther release party and if you don't comply, your Mac will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2........

Sometimes the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to throw back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't care who hears me, because I am beautiful.
