    The iCal issue is down to the fact that the application icon is 17th July last year, when iCal was announced. It's not a bug, that's just how it works, although the Dock icon reflects the date while the app is running. If you do a click-and-hold on the Dock icon, then select Show in Finder from the pop-up menu, you'll see that the icon in the Application folder always shows 17th July.



    As for the display settings, I personally have the display go to sleep after 5 minutes: saves more power and uses the display less than a screen saver (I don't really see the point of screen savers on an LCD, since their original purpose was to prevent burnt-in images on CRT monitors: I never use them). My PowerBook sleeps after 15 minutes, but that's more about conserving battery power than anything else. I always have the hard disk sleep option active, saving wear and tear on the drive.
