Quickly Edit Google Calendar Events
You no longer have to double click on a Google Calendar event to edit its name. Now you can just click on the event's name and quickly edit it from the description balloon.
Unfortunatly you still can't edit date and localisation of your event :(. This 'd be usefull for all users and certainly very easy to do for a googler :-). . . When your mouse is on a name, this 'd link to his google profile. Again, Google must improve connections between his services : this is really a Google weakness.
I completly agree, google does this poorly and will almost certainly need to get its act together before Circles or Google me is launch.
But Google Calender always felt a bit neglected to me. It certainly not the most developed or cutting edge of Google technologies. Frankly I would not be surprise that what little improvements we get are from 20% projects rather than a real development team.
I wonder what some people expect from a calender sometimes lol. I use it for work, social, holidays, shiftpatterns, tv shows, general reminders, tasks, football fixtures, F1 fixtures and of course the mandatory Birthdays, anniversaries etc. Sometimes it's just easier to spend 2 or 3 minutes learning how to do it rather than 30 seconds complaining about something trivial. Just my thoughts :D

I hate how you can't set the default calendar, and also how Google cal can't remember the last calendar you selected.

Please tell me how I can add photos to my calendar event. I teach classes and I want to add pictures of the projects to the events.
