I like it more than the previous one:

You can also see it here.

This is a very interesting alternative to .mac.
It’s Spanning Sync:

“Synchronize Google Calendar and Apple iCal. Share calendars between multiple Macs. Share calendars with your coworkers, family, and friends. And while you’re at it, connect Google Calendar to your iPod, mobile phone, and other devices.”

Spanning Sync adds a pref pane button which makes the Sync process easy:

As a .mac subscriber, I often ask myself if it worths it… Anyway….

Here is the “how to”. It’s indeed another service provided by the HUUUUGE Google!

1) Install GCALDaemon (Java 1.5 required).

cd /usr/local/sbin sudo unzip /downloads/gcaldaemon-linux-1.x.zip sudo chgrp -R admin /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon sudo chmod -R g+w /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon/bin/*.sh

2) Put a colored label on all folders in ‘~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources’.

open ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources

3) Launch iCal, and create a new calendar, maybe named ‘Google’.

After Part.1 and Part. 2, here is logically Part. 3 (and last)!

1. Site-flavored search - Enter the URL of a site, and Google will try to infer a profile for the site based on its content.
2. AdSense for Paper - Google has placed targeted ads in two magazines on behalf of AdWords advertisers.
3. Dilbert and the Google Doodle. The first and last Dilbert cartoon on Google.
4. Britney Spears spelling corrections. The data shows some of the misspellings detected by Google’s spelling correction system for the query [ britney spears ], and how many different users spelled her name that way. The most common misspelling is “brittany spears”.
5. Google searches related to 9/11. Also Google’s condolences.
6. Google can help your business make more money: promo for AdSense, AdWords and Froogle.
7. AdWords 2004 - a presentation about AdWords with nice greyscale pictures from Googleplex.
8. Librarian Center - a newsletter with search tips for librarians.
9. This page used to be displayed when searching for “jew” because the first results were anti-jew sites and people were disturbed.
10. Looking for Picasa? What about Urchin?

Here is part 2 Of the Google site you probably don’t know:

1. Explore Google World from 2003.”Work is hard and you need a break. A sun-soaked vacation is just the ticket, but where to begin? With Google there’s a world of helpful, time-saving features right at your fingertips.”
2. How to build a better query - useful tips.
3. Valentine’s Day 2001
   A Java applet that shows a heart and writes “I love you” in more languages. That was before designing logos for holidays and special events.
4. 20 years of Usenet - including first mentions of Microsoft, Sun, Cisco, Madonna, Britney Spears, Mac OSX and Google.
5. Statistics about html elements’ usage. An average web page uses 19 tags.
6. In 2003 Google searched 3 billion documents. Now Google has more than 24 billion documents in the index. Also see why size isn’t important.
7. Google ranks #1 in NPD search & portal scorecard measuring loyalty and satisfaction (in 2000).
8. Google Voice Search - search on Google by voice with a simple telephone call.
9. Google Keyboard Shortcuts - navigate search results without using your mouse.
10. Google Compute - put your computer to work advancing scientific knowledge when it’s not helping you.

Here are the Google pages you certainly have never seen.

You probably know the first one:

1. Google Mac (The search engine with only Mac related results)
2. Google Moms (A tribute to Googlers’ moms)
3. Google Adsense For Domains (AdSense for domains allows domain name registrars to fill the otherwise blank pages with AdSense ads)
4. Google Sets (Google Sets is the oldest Google product that never graduated Google Labs. Using Google Sets, you can create sets of items from a few examples)
5. Google Dance 2004 & 2005
6. Get Stock with Google (Google provides stock and mutual fund information since 2001)
7. Google Doesn’t Sell Search Results (Google talks about the integrity of its results and answers this tricky question: “In a world where everything seems to be for sale, why can’t advertisers buy better position in our search results?”)
8. Google Wi-Fi (Google provides free WiFi in Mountain View through Google Secure Access, a client that makes the WiFi connection more secure)
9. Google Newsletter (You knew Google has a blog, but you didn’t know they have a newsletter called Google Friends. You can read the full archive)
10. Chad’s Journey to New Jersey (One bike. One Googler. One really long ride)
11. Google Easter’s Eggs (A Java game with an Easter bunny)
