Google goes to desktop

Google Inc. is looking to make inroads into the desktop with this week’s rollout of its free Google Deskbar software, which lets Windows users search the Web and applications without opening a browser. The Deskbar appears as a small inset window on the Windows toolbar and lets users search the Web without leaving desktop tasks as long as the computer is connected to the Internet. Keyboard shortcuts let users run queries, typing “Ctrl+Alt+G” to perform Google searches from applications, for example.

Companies combine to combat spam

E-mail software maker Sendmail Inc. is partnering with software company Cloudmark to provide integrated anti-spam features for companies using Sendmail e-mail products.

Sendmail, which also is available as open source software, is one of the most commonly used enterprise e-mail platforms. Cloudmark’s products use a Microsoft Corp. Outlook anti-spam plug-in called SpamNet to maintain a distributed, 700,000-person, peer-to-peer anti-spam network.
