Why Google talk messenger is available in dektop as well as on the site.?

Hi....


If i install Google talk messenger on the desktop it runs the .exe file but the same facility I can access through the online Google talk services like call,file sharing......


So if i the desktop install version and the web versions give same output.





So what is the difference between If i m using a call facility after installing the Google talk on the dektop or by using same facility on the site.
Why Google talk messenger is available in dektop as well as on the site.?
How to delete past searches from Searchbar?





You can clear your Google search history from the Google search box, the Google Toolbar, or your browser. We've included instructions for all three methods below.





CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH BOX HISTORY





The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for disabling this search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.





Microsoft Internet Explorer


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Internet Options" and the "Content" tab.


3. Within the "Personal information" area, select "AutoComplete."


4. Click on "Clear Forms." You can also un-check the "Forms" box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.


5. Click "OK" to exit.





Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the Delete key once.





MSN


If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.





Mozilla Firefox


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Options" %26gt; "Privacy" %26gt; "Saved Form Information."


3. Click "Clear" and un-check the box.


4. Click "OK" to exit.





Safari


1. Go to the "Safari" menu and select "Preferences."


2. From the menus that pop up, select "Autofill."


3. Go to "Other forms" line and select the "Edit" button.


4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied, select "Google.com" %26gt; "Remove" %26gt; "Done."





CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY





To clear your search history from the drop-down text box on the Google Toolbar:





1. Click on the Google logo on the Toolbar to access the drop-down menu.


2. Select the "Clear Search History" option.





If you'd like to completely disable your Toolbar's search history, please click the "Options" button on your Toolbar and un-check the box next to "Drop-down search history."





If you have Google Toolbar 4.0 installed, you can clear your Toolbar's search history by starting to enter a search term in your Toolbar's search box. When your drop-down search history appears, simply click the "Clear History" link.





Please note that this only clears the search history from the Google Toolbar, which is entirely separate from the search history stored by your browser.





If you've followed these steps and information still appears in your Toolbar search box as you type, please visit http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer... for additional assistance.





CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY





Like your Google search box history, the search history that displays in the address bar on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for clearing and/or disabling your search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.





Microsoft Internet Explorer


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Internet Options" and the "General" tab.


3. Click the "Clear History" button. To completely disable the history function, set "Days to keep pages in history" to zero ("0").


4. Click "OK" to exit.





MSN


If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.





Mozilla Firefox


1. Go to the "Tools" menu.


2. Select "Options" %26gt; "Privacy" %26gt; "History."


3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0").


4. Click "OK" to exit.





Safari


1. Click "History" on the top menu.


2. Click "Clear History" at the bottom of the menu.

Reply:Almost in all cases an application set on the workstation is more stable than an application that runs of the internet.





This can be argued especially w/ the windows operating system. But the application that runs off the internet is really made for open source use. Meaning that the online app is capabable of running on any computer, at any time, anywhere.





This is a concept of how Google is attempting (in it's products) to virtualize the computer experience. Apps such as G-Docs, or G-spreadsheets run on an open source online apps that can work on any computer and can be accessed from anywhere.





The desktop G-talk product was made primarily so it would no longer have to rely on the internet browser.





You have to ask yourself what's better. The G-talk program running through the internet browser such as 'internet explorer' which has the famous reputation of having 'App hangs' or would u rather the program not depend on another program in order to run.





When you check your gmail you'll notice that G-talk is by default activated in the left hand corner, u can disable this by choosing an option on the bottom that eliminates it from operating.


In this way you can save some bandwidth.





Hope I helped.
