- epheterson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25a.k.a. Celebrate my birthday :) I love that my birthday is reserved in Mac history! Woo July 17th!
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22That sound like a watch I have that's correct exactly 2 times a day
- wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -12/+27This is just stupid, mod me down I dont care
- shitthisfook, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Just for that, I'm gonna mod you up!
- greyghst168, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Cool! I never knew my bday was going to be celebrated by so many other people!
- n3il89, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12If only iCal day is as good as Festivus
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12This is retarded. No digg. But it does bring up a good point - that iCal icon SHOULD show the right date if it's going to show any date at all.
- Query, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11July 17th, 2002, was the date iCal was released by Apple at Macworld.
- shrapnull, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15seriously, how hard could it possibly be for Apple to make it show the right date even when it's closed? Just add it as a special "dock feature" that when clicked, opens iCal.
- grrreat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9If you really care, include iCal in your startup items and have it hide automatically
- "Hide" feature of the Accounts System Preferences... "Login items."
This way you can always have iCal running in the background and have it show the current date. - mattjvw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Happy iCal day, everyone!!!
- Scott2, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17"Because, like Apple, this story is a waste of peoples time."
I agree this story is a waste of time (along with a number other stories on digg), but I'll thank you to keep your mouth shut about Apple. - jeffclark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8iCal day? Seriously?
The things people do for blog traffic... - fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -18/+26I didn't mean that this was the first time that the date had come around since iCal was released but, I have never heard of it being celebrated or even mentioned before.
- antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8In this case: Once a year.
- MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Its the day iCal was revealed to the public!
- r0ck3tm4nn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Oh man. So I a get my first mac a few weeks ago and the iCal date has been driving me nuts ever since. Why July 17th? Whats so important on July 17th?! I keep clicking on it thinking it's trying to remind me of something on that day...but no. It's just there for no reason.
- hexxus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Is it just me or is this is the equivalent saying a broken watch tells the right time twice a day?
- astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You must be new around here.
- Query, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Did you read the article? :P
- johnjohnson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Happy birthday to you (and to me).
Turning 19 today. For the eleventh time ;-) - Scott2, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11@rompom7 -
Call it flaming if you want, but also notice I wasn't dissing anybody. I don't care who he likes or doesn't like, I was simply objecting to his totally unnecessary and irrelevant reference to Apple.
Besides, under your definition of flaming, you flamed me as well. - fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4that's the spirit
- Hellblazer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Anything that ticks off Windows users (apart from the daily use of that thing they call an operating system) is fine by me!
happy iCal day one and all! ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I am an avid Mac user and love my Macs...but that is just dumb.
- bbeahm, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10Most things on the Mac "Just Work" Why cant iCal?
Dear Steve Jobs,
For 10.5 can iCal "Just Work"?
Thanks - Scott2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Not even close - The dumbest one ever had to do with Paris Hilton changing her hair color. I searched for it, but its too old.
- skoles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7No clue. Drives me nuts.
- quakeIII, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Happy birthday, but damn this day straight to hell! It's like apple is teasing us that iCal "works." We all know that the next 364 days are also going to be Jul 17 also.
- MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I forgot which podcast I was listening to, but the person being interviewed was asked what the date meant, and he stated that it was the day ical was revealed to the public.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah a whole 10 megabytes.
- vprice509, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Apple good. Lame story bad.
- fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, some guy had some faked shots of leopard that had an iCal/AddressBook combo-App and it used my birthday, that was the only thing I really liked about it
- mipadi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It used to retain the date once the application was opened; for some reason, this changed with Tiger.
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Adium does this with custom dock icons (by overwriting the dock icon file in the application bundle itself).
- mipadi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Think diffferent, man.
- Salvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The iCal Alarm Scheduler starts at Login by default, why can this change the iCal Icon too?
It has to monitor the date and time anyway. - korteenea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wouldn't that just be "insanely great!?" :-P
- fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1since I just got 2 gigs of ram, I am going to have to do this
- dareal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No doubt !
- fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1heck, it's my story and I modded you up
- fudgebrown, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3happy iCal day everyone!
- AModlin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+7I agree, it'd be very nice to see the date on the dock, but it would probably require more resources than you'd want just to show the date. Then again, Apple could just sell memory for less and that wouldn't be a problem.
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Scott2: I wasn't flaming your opinion, I was fighting fire with fire.
- SenorPez, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This is the dumbest story ever to get frontpaged.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Agreed. Marked as lame.
Is there any way to get an RSS feed with all of technology MINUS Apple stuff? I mean honestly, stuff like this, the story about how Mac users can enjoy full-screen Quicktime video, and all the various other ridiculous Mac news items are just boring. - shitthisfook, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4It's just you.
I found this comment on the blog hilarious:
Derek Says: July 16th, 2006 at 4:57 pm
Finally, this day will be celebrated throughout my whole family for years to come.
Hurray! - MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1good tip, though it will eat up some ram
- fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3GAY.
But I love iCal. -
