Gallery Adds Power To Google Calendar Google has added muscle to its Google Calendar application with Google Calendar Gallery. It’s a widget that allows users to import listings and events from other sites.

By giving Calendar users access to a numberof public listings of all kinds, Google’s modest aim is to turn the application into “the next best thing to a personal concierge.” With a single click, events or complete calendarscan be imported to the user’s calendar.

The Gallery feature has listings for TV (sorted by ZIP), sports and music, DVD releases, as well as more specialized offerings such as NBA games,Disney park events, concerts for Atlantic recording artists and a number of others, as well as festival schedules.

The Gallery is also available to non-Calendar users, but its aim is to offerflexibility to make Google Calendar the leader in the field.

“You can browse different categories of calendars to see which ones are the most popular, or you can search in the search boxfor the topics that most interest you,” Google claimed. “You’ll see video, images and detailed descriptions right in the listings so you can preview the events or shows with oneclick.”

Additionally, users will be able to receive cell phone and e-mail alerts about upcoming events.

Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.
