After getting my new Mac yesterday, I am pleased to see that Google has just today started supporting these beautiful machines. I’m a fan of Google Desktop, having used it on my last two machines and I enjoyed it quite a bit. However, I am disappointed to see that the Mac version will have no widgets or the toolbar yet. Being an organized sort, I rarely had the need to use the Google search on my desktop. My primary joy with the package was the widgets.
Of course, as with most betas, new features will undoubtably roll out very quickly. That said, since I have no pressing need for the search feature I’ll pass on this one. As soon as the widgets roll out, I’ll download and add them to my OSX widgets (Chuck Norris will no longer be alone on my desktop).
Glad to be settling in here at Yahoo and finally returning to the blog. Berkely is quite different than I expected so the transition has been challenging, but not painful at all. Thanks for all the well-wishes!
Wow. I love your blog. Lot’s of nifty info and lots to read. I shall bookmark joo!! 🙂
Thanks Jenny 🙂 Welcome to my slice of home on the internet.
I have an iMac to go along with my PC. It is definitely underutilized, but I am hoping to change that. Please let us know what other tools you find essential for the Mac.
Hi Robyn,
Just dropping by via Wendy’s eMom blog to wish you the best of luck in your role as MBL’s community manager.
I had actually enquired about that myself, although living in Scotland it wasn’t too likely to happen.
Thanks David. Since you know the product so well, please let me know if you have any suggestions. 🙂
Robyn,
As a past official Apple employee, I can tell you that they don’t have those extra tools because they don’t need them. Just ask any Mac user.
