More Google

How brilliant are those guys/girls at Google really? They are coming up with the most seriously intriguing pieces of desktop software this side of Microsoft. And they're going places too... CNN's broadcast of the Katrina hurricane? They used Google Earth. They also have gmail, search for videos, translators, web accelerators and a locator for all kinds of rides...

Now they've improved Google Desktop as well, which pretty much gives you at a glance news items, sports scores, email notices, stock quotes, and so on. And it is all based on what you use your computer for.

It's amazing (and disturbing) that Google can just take over your computer like that, drill into the deepest recesses of your registry and present it to you on a silver platter. Best not leave any confidential information around...
