Google Desktop search 2.0

Well, google has yet another nifty new toy. In addition to desktop search, Google has added a sidebar to make information management easier. When I say "information management", I mean there’s a panel for weather, one for news, one for CPU usage, etc. If there was only one which would take my RSS feeds and let me know when something new came up, I’d be a happy man...

The thing is, Google is taking 3 of my major programs (Copernic, Desktop Sidebar, and Forcastfox), and trying to put them all in one place. I like the idea, but after a few minutes testing, the execution seems a bit lacking. Though, at this point, I am only picking a few nits. Google has sensibly created a Plugin architecture, which should help overcome some of my issues...
