I can see that being turned around into something it wasn't meant to be.

But then again, so was the internet in certain respects.

Doesn't Windows come with a "find file or folders" option?

This is nice... it integrates with the regular online google search, so I can use my IE Google toolbar to access it.

YAY! :D

[Edit: Oooh it knows about firefox... it had me close it before it installed... :p

Hmm it uses a TCP port and an internet browser! Awesome.]

Wow! This rocks.
That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.

Aside from (maybe) easier access, what's different between that and Windows' built-in feature?

I can't believe you people are allowing Google to monopolize the Internet.

Google isn't cool anymore. Let it go.

Monopolizing would be intentionally shutting out competitors, wouldn't it? It seems Google is just that much better than everyone else.

This is just a setp towards eventual Global domination by Google... once they have compiled a list of all the files on your hard drive, it will send it to the central Google server... then, it will start to take over your computer by embedding virii into all your files...then it will hook every computer together into one massive distributed computing grid that it will use to break all the encryption and security around every nuclear missile launch site in the world, and then, before you know it, WWIII!

But I downloaded it anyways. It looks cool.

This is true. If there's one company that could challenge or "bring down" Microsoft, I would bet on it being Google.
