Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta

Posted by timothy on from the beta-would-be-a-great-name-for-software dept.

Rolan writes "Yahoo! has released to BETA their Desktop Search Tool. It has a much longer list of file types that it will search, including compressed files, than the Google Desktop Search Tool. Though, the usefulness of a good number of those file types would come into question for most people."

    I have six gmail invites to give out still, so...
    Respond to this message with your e-mail while logged into your account (durtbag) and I'll send you a gmail invite. If I have enough invites, just post your email for anyone else and the first lucky five get invites.
    That is all. :)

      yeah, nothing feels better than a spray of clean water and the whistling of wind on a calm summer night.

      Except listening to Bad Religion, of course.

    First, 38 cm high? That's... um... a bit of a hardship to the humans that are used to playing players that are 180 cm tall, isn't it?

    Second, 360 degree vision. Again, that's quite an advantage to the robots - literally "eyes in the back of their head".

    A bit fairer competition would be 180 cm tall robots with 180 degree vision. Let's throw in a restriction that the robots be bipedal, too - no hiding the ball among 8 legs or some such...
