If this comment was meant to be sarcastic then it was expertly executed! BTW, you really don't need a teacher to learn meditation... just sit down, shut up and focus on your breathing for a few minutes each day... and watch how wild your mi

I found that turning off addons helps a tremendous amount - on both Windows and Linux. Also, 3.6 appears to be much faster. I don't think Chrome is a safe browser.

There are too many points on the path where something could go wrong. Given that this is the first time that I am hearing about Google Calendar being a problem, I doubt it's the actual problem. What email service are you using?
