Google has finally released Google Desktop for Mac
Yay!
Update: if you have a lot of files (more than 200,000; I have an average of about 500,000 on my machines), it's a good idea to disable spotlight after you install google desktop. "mds" which is the spotlight index process, starts to go nuts, eating up all your memory. It got up to 750MB RSS on one of my machines before I killed it, and up to 450MB on this machine I am working on now. Spotlight is useless in any case if you have a reasonably large number of files, maybe more than 50,000 or so. It's like they tested it for the "average" mac user who has some email and pictures, but not for the nerd programmer who has collected 20 years of email, code and random stuff in their home directory.
My hypothesis is that Spotlight is trying to index the Google Desktop index, but that's a wild hunch.
