Google released its beta version of the Google Desktop 2 today. Nice piece of software...aggregates all the tools in one place - the sidebar especially is pretty neat - stocks weather, photos, files...you can getto everything from here. And of course to no surprise it has an in-built notepad..or scratch-pad as Google calls it. The battle for the PC desktop certainly seems to heating up. Microsoft look up!....
PS: this desktop also keeps track of the user's browsing habits...and yes, transmits them out too..although Google does mention that no personal information is transmitted and users can opt out of it too...
Looks like the machines are closing in on us...
