The last two weeks have been a very interesting period in the history of gadgets. Both Apple and Microsoft have faced the ire of hyped prosumers in the face of products that have come in "less than analysts expectations." I think we are witnessing the birth of an American Otaku culture where prosumers and not producers decided the success of product launches. I could go on but you can check out my journal entry at www.patricklanders.com if you are interested.

The Fundamental Flaw with Origami and Its Ilk
One thing has perpetually bothered me about .Mac in the context of web services - why can I not have my iCal on .Mac so that I can edit it and use it in the same way as CalendarHub? I just don't understand why you would not do this if your already have the web-platform. And please don't tell me about publishing my calendar - that's like paying someone to scream your appointments in the Village square - and as for password protection - when I log in to my .Mac (there's your password protection) now just show me my calendar already and let me get to work. Does any one have any clue why Apple does this?
