Google Calendar gets "labs" section, Gmail Tasks graduates from labs

And now Google has also added an experimental "labs" feature to Google Calendar.

At launch, there are just 6 experimental features for Google Calendar users. You can:
  1. Add a background image
  2. Attach Google Docs to a calendar appointment
