My wife and I share calendars, and a few minutes ago she noticed a spammy notice on her calendar. Turns out it was on mine (surprise; my email address is way more public). I found the explanation here; it turns out that anyone can add items to your Google calendar if they know your email address. Look at the settings:
The default (which I just changed to "No" is simply "Yes" - meaning, anyone who knows your email address can throw crap on your calendar - which will then generate alerts sent to you. Meh.

I've been casting about for a game to play on my Mac for a bit - I've played out most of my existing library. I've been pondering Bioshock Infinite for awhile - I liked the game on XBox. While the ending won't be a surprise this time around, I figured it would keep me busy. One problem: I have a 2010 era Macbook Pro, with the low end NVidia 320M card. The official support site warns you off if that's what you have, but - I've ignored such warnings before (and it's a mixed bag as to how that's worked out. Dishonored played fine for me in Parallels, while Hitman Absolution performed like a dog).
The good news is, it seems to run fine. There's some framerate lag when I enter a new area, but mostly it runs at better than 30 FPS (not great, but playable, at least for me). So if you've been holding off because your Macbook isn't on the supported list, you might give it a shot. Just turn everything down to low :)
