Google Desktop 2.0

No it doesn't. Then again, if you're just talking about Opera in general, you might be right.

*cough* Though I didn't quite mean this to be a raving Opera threadjack.

shoot me for not wanting google to spend their $ on developing software that i have no use of

i prefer google working on innovative things like google earth or library indexing rather than things that already exist

further more, i really dont like google coming up with a product that at the same time is competitive to an open source project (firefox: rss feeds, weather info, etc) and enhances a closed source application (microsoft full-of-security-holes outlook of all things!!)

next thing you know, google will be producing ie patches!

I don't think Google Desktop competes with Firefox...

One is a desktop information centre and the other is a web browser. Sometimes they overlap.

I do think it's utterly retarded that you ask for less competition just because an open source project may have similar functionality. That is a brilliant opinion.

Downloaded it! Right now I have the sidebar with autohide, but I'll probably move it into my taskbar sooner or later.

[Timexwatch]

Does it keep crashing for anyone?

[VetLegion]

3 hours of indexing to go...

I'm installing it because this version has automatic result display as you type the keyword.

I dig that stuff in every application I use

if there is a god, this thing will turn out to be some sort of uber-virus and will explode, effectively destroying stupid people's computers

You don't understand Mark, Google is taking over the world, you don't want to be left behind do you?

I love the sidebar, especially since I have a 2nd monitor to stick it on.

[Datajack Franit]

My version is crashing and refuses to install the uploads. Anyway I don´t like it, I´d enjoy a news-ticker-like rss reader


edit: weather.com active window kicks ass even tells stuff about what to wear, calorie/water amount spent according to weather when training

Another useless extra brought to you by Google, trying to take over the internets and your computer since 1996.

I don't find it that useless, but then again I don't have a toy computer that looks pretty instead of doing useful things.

If you are daring to imply that WoW is anything but useful, then I shall smite you.

[Kuciwalker]

Useful in the same way that crack is useful.
