Apparently the term iCal is used for three separate things:
1) an old Unix calendaring format definition
2) the iCalendar standard for calendaring format
3) an Apple Calendar application

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar

and one reference I lost that said the term iCal is often, and mistakenly,
used for iCalendar

As far as syncing with our google calendar goes:
