| | Simple Desktop Innovation: Gnome Calendar Acts of Volition |
 | | As part of their efforts to integrate the email/calendar application, Evolution, with the rest of the desktop (via the Evolution Data Server which makes calendar and contact information available throughout the desktop), the Gnome developers are making calendar information from Evolution (meetings, tasks, appointments, holidays, etc.) available in the desktop clock applet. |
 | | One woman had a client time one and a half years in the future, just because she used that "calendar" in the system tray, to look up, if her birthday is on a Saturday next year. |
 | | If you're on OS X and all you want is a month-to-view calendar to, say, work out what the date is next Sunday then wClock is a sufficiently flexible alternative to the standard Mac OS menubar clock. |
