Sherlock

The next step would be to integrate Sherlock into Safari.. But not until they fix Safari's damn memory leak! ...

What is sad is that because you have not seen what Watson is able to do you are under estimating what Sherlock could have been. Sherlock isn't a failure because people don't need another search tool... it is a failure because people only think of it as a search tool. ...

The flights function is very impressive, but other than for shopping its the only thing I'll conceivably ever use Sherlock for. As mentioned by others, the speed of it in general means google all the way for general web searches.... ...

or the desktop and longhorn supposedly having better search capabilities will the masses actually use an alternative search app. If watson never came around and sherlock was faster than watson is now and had even more channels would the masses use that or would they continue to use their browsers? ...

seem to be on it's way out. Safari has the google bar, iTunes has movie trailers, and watson is quicker. It's just a matter of time. But i'm GLAD they removed sherlock from the find function in the OS. ...

Watson came out long before Apple redesigns Sherlock for 10.2. In fact Apple gave Watson the Apple Design Award for Most Innovative Mac OS X Product for 2002... and then basically stoled the idea for Sherlock. ...

Perhaps new iChat, iSync, and Sherlock apps. Update to Keynote, Safari and Developer tools. ...

How about a major update to Sherlock. I think this application needs some updates and better channels. So far I have been able to do pretty much everything on sherlock but it would be nice for apple to partner with even more people to provide content. ...

I feel like rivitalizing this thread ... How are your docks now? ::angel:: Mine in a typical day is like on the attached image. The 3 thigns before the vertical division bar (Toy viewer, Network manager, and Sherlock) are not permanently on the dock. Tux ball after the division bar is for shortcutting all other applications. Jolt if for x11.

good point... and I seem to remember it having a preview on / off option. Problem is that it's not free... like Sherlock.
