arstechnica.com — Being huge fan of Quicksilver (the Swiss army knife of Mac utilities), I was pretty excited to check out the new Mac version of Google Desktop, especially since Quicksilver's author was hired by Google to work on it. As soon as it was released yesterday, I grabbed the

Fortunately Google is a responsive company who listens to most of its customer base... Pity Apple couldn't be like that.

I hope Yahoo will port their Windows Desktop Search application to the Mac. That is the only one I use on my Windows machine, and it has no junk in the trunk.

I don't install anything that doesn't follow OS guidelines on installation. That guideline happens to be a very basic installation path. I don't have to use Google Desktop, my $140 OS already does it on kernel level.

I have info from very credible source that Alcor didn't code a byte at Google Desktop.

Chris they are telling OS X users "give up your privacy and system stability" while they have a tiny(!) process named mdimport already running.I don't like their attitude. In fact if they keep with that attitude, same will happen to them. Remember a company thinking they own the Internet and didn't give s**t to criticism? What happened to them?

Google has agreement with Apple to plug default search engine to Safari as "Google".Yes, a Ş140 OS'es default browser comes with Google search, default. Don't even bother telling me the plist to change it or resources to hack.Opera and Camino at least multi platform, doesn't ask $140 for major update and openly getting money from Google. They don't need to "Steal" anything.

Just tried it, doesn't work.command + shift + a only works when finder is active, Quicksilver always workstyping 'isui' doesn't work either, doing a live type will bring me to the current letter, but it won't remember past one keystroke.I don't think you really thought that plan through, nice try though.
