Desktop Search from Google

Today, I was talking to a friend, and he told me about this new Beta utility from Google, and I thought, wow, these guys come up with new cool stuff everyday! This one is called Google Desktop at http://desktop.google.com. Basically, it indexes your whole computer including your files, email, web history (including secure web content), and makes them available in a snap through a "localhost" website on your machine. I haven't had it on my laptop for too long yet, so not everything is indexed, but from what I've seen so far, you can search for ANYTHING on your computer in snap ... (literally). if you're bored and want to try a new thing, try to install it. I don't think it installs much at all on your machine, so you don't have to worry about clutter. I just thought I'd put this up here for those people who read these blogs, maybe they might find it useful :)
