Holy Cow, The name Moo Calendar udderly ridiculous. Maybe they should beef up their staff to come up with a better name. I think I am going to pass on this and graze elsewhere.

Second Comment
It pulls the appointments down from Google but does not upload appointments made on it to Google. It makes it less useful for me. I will not pay $20 for it, may be $10

Lightening, an attachment to Mozilla Thunderbird, does all this for free, and is more functional.

This is a nice program. The reminder and ability to synch with Yahoo, Google and CalDAV cloud services is a plus. I'm always looking for an alternative for Outlook's powerful calendar. I use Rainlendar and Evernote which are both free but will try this for a while.

As for it 'phoning home' if you're that concerned about that, beef up your firewall settings to alert you when program do phone home. If you enter you location in the weather settings and your firewall did not alert you, you should change your settings or get a firewall that alerts you of everything that you haven't checked 'Do not alert me when this program attempts to communicate with the internet.' Zone Alarm, Outpost, Sygate, Comodo and maybe PCTools should alert you to every communication unless you tell it not too. Microsoft's firewall and most security suites will not let you know unless you change the default setting or it things it's malicious communications.

As for the weather, I am in Dallas and it's storming right now and this calendar says it's just cloudy. (Just a sun with a cloud partially blocking it. No rain or lighting.) They may want to change their weather data source.
