Google Desktop 4 beta
Reviewed on June 22, 2006
Google Desktop 4 beta is less clunky than its predecessor, and we love the zippy search and creative Sidebar Gadgets. Still, we're wary of handing over our computing habits to Google's servers.

Google Video (beta)
Reviewed on February 7, 2006
It turns out that an open, sprawling interface works better for a search engine than a video store. Google Video will have to take a few categorization notes from Yahoo if it's ever going to challenge the iTunes Music Store.

My Yahoo/My Web
