YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN

Google has finally made calendar syncing between Apple's iCal application and their cloud-based Google Calendar a little easier with the recent release of Calaboration, a downloadable tool which will bring all your Google Calendar events into iCal. Set up is easy, just follow the directions found here. It took me a few minutes to get all of calendars from Google into iCal, but it wasn't too difficult. Unfortunately, there are some frustrating limitations you should be aware of.

• Your existing calendars and events already in iCal will not be moved into Google Calendar automatically.
• You can't create iCal ToDo items and have them moved into Google Calendar.
• Only pop-up reminders can be synced with Google Calendar when they are created in iCal.

Even with the limitations, it's a great step forward for people who like to use iCal when at their desktop, but want the convenience of Google Calendar when on the road.
