Google Desktop – Verging a Google Browser?
Filed under: 
Only months after the release of Google Desktop, the much richer Google Desktop 2 has been announced. This native desktop software, as well as indexing and searching one’s hard-drive, incorporates a controversial sidebar. This sidebar contains RSS feeds, a virtual Gmail inbox, news headlines and more utilities and plug-ins like a scheduling toolset.
Will this truly provide the infrastructure to what might become a Google homebred Web browser? This kind of browser would make the Google-centric application everything that you will ever need. Would such strategy move all the users’ data on-line, namely mail, schedule and settings? Will this make our lives even more portable? Surely there is potential for this vision, which is not baseless. Google have strong ties with the Mozilla Foundation and they may have pondered the possibility of a Google browser in the past. Some sources claim they have.

I just wanted to let you know of Robert Cheek a vegan body builder who has ranked high and won many drug free competitions(of course you know that doesn’t always mean drug free but it may) and me myself am not a body builder but I was an all american shot putter in high school (I threw 60 and was ranked 7th in indoor nationals) and as a vegan college athlete I benched 370lbs, squatted 600lbs, and clean and jerked 310 pounds the summer after my freshman year, before I recieved a carreer ruining hand injury. I know I was training for stregth and speed if I wanted but I also know if I redirected my focus I could have just as easily(as both are equally difficult) have been a body builder.
