Google Desktop Uninstalled

You may have spotted in my link blog that I was excited to see Google Desktop available for the Mac. Well, I installed it on Thursday. I just uninstalled it. The reason? It took over my machine, for almost 36 hours. It runs an indexing task which consumes all the available CPU and which can't be paused or stopped.

I had no idea how much longer it was going to carry on jamming the machine for and I wanted my Mac back, so Google Desktop is gone. It's not coming back until I know the indexer has learned a little respect.
