Move over Google Sidebar | CNET News.com: " Chicago-based company is set to launch on Friday technology that will compete with Google Desktop Search and its Sidebar customization feature.
Watson 2.0 is designed to understand the context of the text a computer user is reading or creating and automatically offer up relevant news articles, Word documents and other Web- or PC-based information--without the privacy concerns Google's service has raised--and in real-time.
The context-sensitive Windows search tool, developed by Chicago-based Intellext, is based on technology developed at Northwestern University.
'Nothing gets sent to our servers,' as with Google's Sidebar service, said Al Wasserberger, chief executive of Intellext. Sidebar users only get the customized news and other feeds if they opt in to sending information to Google servers about what documents and Web pages are being viewed. "
