Could this be more awesome? I can track my blog feeds with Google Desktop now. I just used it once and I already love the interface. I ::heart:: Google’s products. See “all sizes” from the flickr page to see details.

Read and download here.

Google, for me, is starting to cross from “really cool” to, “creapily pervasive.” I’ve read a lot about their tracking of users’ habits, and it’s beginning to sound problematic. If what they do was done by Microsoft, I’d be _really_ pissed.

But I give Google a little leeway. Even with that leeway, they’ve crossed some line that I have arbitrarily dropped somewhere.

I can’t figure out how to get it to auto-refresh after the first load up. Hrm…

*sigh*

In under 30 minutes I broke down, and then hit install (friends only due to content).

I tried the desktop toolbar and realized that it was very helpful, but ugly. I then tried out DesktopSidebar and like it alot better. Mainly because I am a graphics whore and it is pretty.

I have tapped directly into the national zeitgeist:

Google, I love you so. Why have you forsaken me and waited until I have no Windows computer any more to release the latest of your fantastic inventions?
