iCal Turns Five Today
Written on July 17, 2007 by Josh Pigford and 5 people have commented
Today Apple’s iCal application turns the rip old age of five.
In case you hadn’t noticed, the iCal application ican stays a constant “July 17″ which, not surprisingly, also happens to be the day it was released to the masses (ie. its birth).
iCal is currently at version 2.0.5 with a fairly major update coming when Leopard is released next decade.
Hat tip: TUAW


#1 John Stansbury says:I cracked up when you wrote “iCal is currently at version 2.0.5 with a fairly major update coming when Leopard is released next decade.”
Amen, brother.

#2 Ramón says:A work-around to the “stuck on the 17th” has been around for years.

#3 Steve says:or you can just hack the time in the menu bar to show the date

#4 Galley says:Or just leave iCal open all of the time.

#5 Dennis says:July 17.
See I had been thinking this entire time it was because on July 17, 2003 I got my first Mac, and started up iCal for the first time.
I had no idea this was the reason. What a cool coincidence.
