Share iCal Calendars on your LAN With BusySync it's incredibly easy to share iCal calendars with family or coworkers on your LAN without the need for a dedicated server. BusySync is a Mac OS X System Preference Pane that runs in the background and adds calendar sharing capabilities to iCal. Shared calendars can be viewed and edited by multiple users, and changes are instantly published and synchronized with all users on the network. You can even make changes to shared calendars while offline and your changes will sync when you reconnect to the network.

The other day, I realized I had a conflict in my schedule. Granted, that conflict was in late August. But given that it involved two separate work projects, it was a little embarrassing to have to try to reschedule one of the projects.

I know I am not alone in my love/hate relationship for Google’s apps, the functionality is brilliant but the UI is ugly. Google Calendar is most definitely not the exception to the rule, it hurts my eyes.

Aerial photos taken over Japan have revealed the scale of devastation across dozens of suburbs and tens of thousands of homes and businesses. Hover over each satellite photo to view the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami. Development: Andrew Kesper Source: Google

(You can sniff that $1,000 isn't much, but it's a lot more than nothing, and spread across 20,000 employees, it's costing the company $20 million. A 10+% raise on a total cost base of $20 billion, meanwhile, will probably cost the company $1 billion a year, assuming a third of those costs are compensation. Judging from an internal memo, the new salary costs will be somewhat offset by reduced bonuses and stock option grants.)

Insync began as a side project and in 2008 became a full blown sync + share product. We wanted to sync and share files without resorting to web uploads, FTP clients, network shares, attachments and SharePoint. Insync is built with Google Apps love and supports enterprises with 2 to 500+ employees. Our goal is to continue to build a kick-ass product.

I’ve been overwhelmed by the reception to my previous post, “Styled Maps Using Google Maps API Version 3”. For the sake of brevity, I only included 25 examples in that post—but I’ve actually made far more. So I’ve decided to share a few more of them with you, and as before, I’ve also included their .json files. Enjoy!

With Google Maps API V3, you can customize Google Maps’s styling in three new ways: 1. You can selectively remove map elements 2. You can “simplify” certain map elements 3. You can modify the coloring of most map elements

IsItSunshine is a clever weather mashup that shows local weather conditions and answers a very simple (ungrammatically correct) question: is it sunshine? The site makes use of Google Maps with an overlay of large visual and very cheerful icons. No fuss, no feature overload. Just a simple idea providing useful information and executed really, really well.

The Google Font Directory lets you browse all the fonts available via the Google Font API. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and served by Google servers.

Using real fonts on the web is no longer something to look forward to – the technology is ready, the industry has responded, and designers are building sites with them every day. We are excited to be part of this shift in how the web works, and we’re happy to be able to give back to the community through open source.

Helvetireader is a hosted user stylesheet for Google Reader served via a user-script. It aims to make the interface a clean, minimal experience where you're not assaulted by an array of colours, social features and buttons (using Shortcuts instead). It's designed for people who just read the latest entries in expanded view without all the other gubbins.

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and Google Earth which provides panoramic views of streets so the viewers can look around at any place that has been covered. What is the difference between Google Street View and handcrafted virtual panoramic photography as of today? What is stopping Street View to look as today’s best VR panoramas? What are the current and future technology constraints? How will Street View look in 5 years?

The first thing Joy Suliman focuses on in the morning is the Alessi kettle sitting on her stove top. The funky Italian design prepares her for a great day. Just looking at the slick lines and quirky details makes her feel good as she pours water into it for her cup of tea. In gratitude to how this beautiful design makes her feel, the former CAN project manager decided her kettle’s story deserved to be told.

The Apple/Google divorce continues to come into focus: Apple quietly bought Placebase, a mapping service company, back in July. Apple doesn't buy companies it's not going to use. Meaning, Apple's getting into making their own maps. Peace out, Google.

All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.

I love labels in Gmail. Most email programs use folders, which only let me put mail in one place at a time. With labels, I can organize mail in multiple ways. Combined with filters to automatically label incoming messages, Gmail offers powerful ways to organize email.

This page serves as an entry point to the documentation of the Simile Widgets Timeline component. To reference the previous documentation hosted at MIT please refer to html or wiki. We'll try to move all existing (as of September 2nd, 2007) over by September 5th and we'll update that wiki to point here.

La reconnaissance vocale reste le Graal de la Technologie et Google se lance à sa conquête. A partir d’aujourd’hui, les utilisateurs d’iPhone peuvent télécharger une application qui leur permet de poser une question et de recevoir en quelques secondes une réponse. L’application fonctionne en enregistrant votre voix puis la question remonte jusqu’aux serveurs de Google, les données sont analysées et les résultats sont renvoyés. Ces résultats ne sont pas encore parfaits mais l’application est en phase d’apprentissage et intègre les techniques de recherches progressivement; d’ici peu tout pourrait être quasi parfait.

gReader Comments is a Greasemonkey script-turned-extension for Firefox that brings all Disqus conversations into Google Reader. All entries will have a comment thread (regardless of Disqus integration on that site), but more importantly you will be able to join the existing conversation for blogs that use Disqus.
