For me it’s a simply matter of personal integrity and [...]

In a recent MP3 and portable video player picture quality test conducted by ExtremeTech, Apple’s iPod came in at the bottom with poor contrast and color saturation….¬† With this last update Apple should have invested in a larger and higher quality display instead of trying to increase their profit margin on the ipod line.¬† While I had been considering updating my third generation iPod I’ll wait or even consider another player if Apple doesn’t offer a real upgrade soon.

TUAW and Hawk Winks has information that can help you do just that.How To: Add a new iCal event from Quicksilver – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):A while ago we covered Quicksilver plugins for Gmail and Google Calendar, allowing you to send an email or create a new event (respectively) right from within Quicksilver’s interface.¬† If you aren’t a Google Calendar user though, Quicksilver also offers the same kind of plugin for iCal.¬† Somehow I lost this in my bloggable bookmarks, but last month Tim Gaden at Hawk Wings broke down the syntax for adding an event to iCal with this plugin, and it’s really pretty simple.
