google desktop for mac
OK, so Google Desktop for Mac OS X is not quite as full-featured as the (awesome) Windows version, but it’s got 66% of the functionality — awesome search — so it’s a start. And it’s well designed, looks nice, works well, and comes with the Mac version of Google Updater. I’m not sure it’ll replace Quicksilver altogether, but I’m willing to give it a shot — and it’s not like we need yet another kind of widgets on Mac OS X.
Overall: it’s nice to see Google so committed to Mac OS X. I can still feel the shame from the Mac OS 9 days, when Mac users were lucky to get any software at all, so every time I see something come out for PC and Mac OS X, I continue to get a little thrill. Anyway, thanks again, Google.
