Google to Let Users Search PCs Remotely
From Associated Press
Google Inc. is offering a new tool that will automatically transfer information from one personal computer to another, but anyone wanting that convenience must authorize the Internet search leader to store the material for up to 30 days.
The ability to search a computer remotely is included in Google’s latest upgrade to its desktop searching software.
Despite the privacy concerns likely to be raised, executives of Mountain View, Calif.-based Google believe that the product will appeal to people wanting a way to use a home computer to hunt for data stored on an office computer, or vice versa.
