Google Desktop: Out Of Beta

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

Notice the difference in the logo? The "BETA" at the bottom has left Google Desktop.

Just today, Google released the new version of Google Desktop 3. If you have been using Google Desktop, it's time to upgrade. It seems like Google has added lots of new features to this release.

Anyhow, that has nothing to do with me since I'm not happy to let Google Desktop index all my offline files. If you have any good points to change my view about Google Desktop, say it.

Troublesome Adobe Acrobat Reader Updater

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

I've been using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for quite a long time. The program had been prompting me to update it for months. I ignored it until today. I remember I ticked 3 components (without aware of what components are they) for update. It took not much time to download all the required files. After that, it prompted me to install the first component. Then, I was required to restart my PC. The same went to the second component. Luckily it didn't ask me to restart again for the third component!

Hey, Adobe, what's the matter with your updater? Do I really need to restart my PC twice to update my Acrobat Reader?
