Wow, Google invented Konfabulator!
If Konfabulator had a comparable desktop search I'd use that.

that was awesomeYou'd think someone with an IQ of over 150 would have a better grasp of the English language by now.
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

"Useful" spyware
There are some tools that require sending some data to Google to get results, but Google Desktop has those disabled by default and it's got a very clear, plain-english warning that enabling those features will require sending some data to Google."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Aside from the Sidebar option, here's whats new in 2.0:
Quick Find
With Quick Find, you can launch an application just by typing its name. You can also search your hard drive instantly as you type a few letters, without having to go to a web browser.
Better Search in Outlook
Are you the type of person who just lives in Outlook? Rejoice - with the new Outlook Search Toolbar, you can search Outlook without ever having to leave it. If you search from the Toolbar, your email results will be displayed in an Outlook results window. And Google Desktop is even more comprehensive, so you can search:
# Outlook Contacts
# Outlook Appointments
# Outlook Tasks
# Outlook Notes
# Outlook Journal
Even More
# Better filtering lets you filter results by sender, filetype, time and more
# Search network drives and specific drives and folders
# Search your Gmail even when you're not online
# Search MSN Messenger chats in addition to AOL Instant Messenger chats
# Encrypt your index for stronger security
# Updated Developer SDK with Sidebar and Search APIs"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

So then you would use the floating deskbar or deskbar instead, or turn that off altogether and just doubleclick the trayicon when you need to search for something.
Some people, honestly...
It never ceases to amaze me that people are so selfish to criticize having additional options available, just because they don't have a desire for it themselves."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Google's a really innovative company and surely deserved their success.
OTOH, they should also keep on working on things like Picasa. There's still things to improve.Comment

Smallest browser download doesn't matter, is uses more RAM when running.Originally posted by Mercator

This is one google thing I won't be installing. Sidebars are obnoxious.
That, and I don't want to take precious resources away from my games. Yeah, I'm sure I can close it, but that's more clicks than I'm willing to make.Comment

actually, I'm usually too lazy to do that.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
I don't want to know the weather. If I need to know what the weather is, I'll look out the window.
