// 以下Script的作者是Riobard Zhan，作用是能够让Apple的Address Book实现与Google Contacts实现同步，而不仅仅是当iPod touch或者iPhone连接iTunes的时候同步。
// 不过仅仅是在使用10.5.x的时候，你需要这个脚本，如果是10.6的话，Address Book和Google Contacts已经能自动同步了，当然，还包括iCal和Goolge Calendar。
// 贴上来仅仅是为了忘却的纪念吧，使用Snow Leopard已经好几天了，不知道10A342是不是GM，也不知道GM和Retail Version会不会有差异，我只知道距离上一个版本，10A342已经把几乎所有的Bug都修正了，系统能够作为日常工作和使用的系统了。除了VMware的鼠标捕捉还有一点点不流畅。不过影响不大。
// 不过每次告别上一代的Mac OS，我都会伤感一下子，感叹时光又一去不返了。
好了，如果你还在用10.5，又和我一样，喜欢Apple和Google，那么，下面的脚本适合你：
