What do you guys use iCal for? Maybe I'm just not one to use a planner but I can't find much of a good use for iCal. I'm not knocking the program... it's good for what it is... just wondering what you guys use it for. It sure would be nice if it'd auto-update the icon on the dock every day instead of making you launch the program to update the icon...
- due dates for bill payments
- sometimes I have to go to work earlier than normal, so I have to remember
- parties to attend
- people coming to visit
- chores to do around the house and other "to-dos"
- you can subscribe to online calendars like user group meetings, DVD releases, sports teams schedules, etc.
- people's birthdays (there's a util that will automatically fetch them from your address book)
- event planning
I'm sure I can come up with others, too.

Normal scheduling stuff. Problem is, I can't get iCal to iSync between my home and work macs. Pretty iFrustrating, so I hope they get off their iAsses and fix some of these problems in this update.
iHave spoken.

That's what the iSync update is all about. The iSync-enabled phones will sync with your Mac's iCal and Address Book.
Also, if you have a Palm-powered Smartphone those will of course also sync with iSync. I have a Kyocera smartphone, for example, so I have all my phone numbers doubly backed up (to both iCal/AddressBook and .Mac).
