Sherlock 3

so I'm guessing Sherlock is dead. ...

Just a thought: Isn't a lot of Sherlock/Watson functionality going to be given to us via Dashboard? i.e. Webcams, stock tickers, world clock, translators, etc (+ whatever the developer community chooses to create) I think I prefer the Dashboard solution from a user interface point of view. Am I missing something?

Spotlight looks really interesting and useful, but it doesn't seem like it will have my old yellow pages as did Sherlock. Still, I can understand the huge effort to create and maintain that kind of data, so I won't complain too much, but it really was one of the most useful things. I miss it.

I doubt how much use the things you want to be done in one app will have - you can do both in a number of ways alrady .. sherlock, applescript, web .. any YIM compatible clone etc. Maybe add some totally new...

thanks for the history lesson! Watson, Sherlock... perhaps Apple should rename this version of Sherlock "Lestrade" since it appears to bumble through so much these days! ...

I use sherlock everdy for accuweather and the guttenburg repository and love the caltrain channel. ...
