Here’s the direct link to the US holiday calendar on Apple’s website. Thanks to Chris for the sleuthing in the Downloads section of Apple’s website. I would never have found this alone.

I noticed the same thing. When I went to get subscribe to calendars, iCal took me to a missing page on the apple site. However, upon further investigation it looks like they are now hiding the calendars under the Business and Finance category of the Downloads section of the website.

So, Googling an obvious term for an easy solution to a well publicised feature of an Apple application is now Google-fu?
I presume you were joking, but everything ever published on the internet has to pass through the hyperbole filter these days …

I guess it’s like how ‘using’ things is now called ‘hacking’.

That said, I wonder when Apple will realise that their iCal library page has disappeared, I can’t imagine it’s deliberate.

The biggest site for sharedcalendars is probably
