MS Error Rerport Won't Care Google Desktop

Just found out that Vista Error Report had automatically put Google Desktop entries under "Block List" and won't allow me to remove these entries. I remember I never did that. Weird!

Google Desktop 5.5 Beta Released

Google released a new Beta of Google Desktop (5.5) with some improvements. The first and most obvious feature is to allow you to add the Google Desktop gadgets onto your iGoogle homepage in the expense of slow loading time for your iGoogle. I don't know why I should add the desktop gadgets like Music Player onto my iGoogle (so that I can play my music from an internet cafe?)

The second improvement seems necessary: it now allows you to add more than one instance of a gadget, so now you can have two weather gadgets (if you have plenty of screen estate) for two locations instead of having to toggle between the two locations in one gadget.


The third new feature is the re-designed quick search box which is highly inspired by Vista. It doesn't make any difference whatsoever though.

Google Desktop for Linux

After releasing a Mac version of Desktop, Google now has released the Linux version. It seems like Google wants the Desktop to be on all desktops.

I haven't tried it yet on my Ubuntu, and the screenshots available do not show any sign of the Google Desktop Sidebar. But, it is very likely that Google will include the sidebar if this version doesn't have one.

Until then...
