Google Toolbar v.4

SpecialSauce writes "Google's gone and released v.4 Beta of their toolbar. Updates include: customizable buttons, smart search box, a bookmark feature that's tied to the users google.com account, and a send to SMS/Blogger/gmail button." Doesn't look like the mac version is updated yet, although the shared bookmarks thing creates unholy lust in my heart. Now if only it would allow you to search multiple search engines like Firefox's built in search.

They are saying that they're filtering things. Go look at Google China and do a search for 'oysters' to see what comes up. Then do a search for 'Tiananmen Square' and look at the bottom of the page for a line that doesn't appear on the first search. There, you'll see the following:

That translates roughly to "According to the local laws, regulations and policy, some search results are not shown." (That's cleaned up a bit from Google's own translation services.) Hopefully, this will lead the Chinese to ask what's not being shown and, more importantly, why it's not being shown.

The Chinese people are getting used to the idea of freedom, and the power is slowly slipping out of the hands of the Party as the country reshapes itself. China has always been a bit slow to change, but once a change begins, it's hard to stop it.

I'm waiting for v.Everything

That will be a toolbar worth getting.

No more going out and getting a new toolbar every time the standard changes.
