Laplink’s Google workaround

Laplink Software announced that their Web-based remote access product, <A HREF="http://www.laplinkmobile.com/">Laplink Everywhere 4,</A> now includes remote Google Desktop Search functionality, allowing users to quickly retrieve files and email from distant machines. Searches can even be initiated from a handheld device such as a PDA or Smartphone. Unlike Google's latest remote search feature, Laplink's remote Google Desktop Search won't trigger EFF alarm bells. All searchable data remains safely on the remote PC. Files are retrieved using a Web interface, and streamed to the local computer via an encrypted channel. Once the files are retrieved and the remote session is terminated, no trace of it remains on the local device. Laplink Everywhere's remote Google Desktop Search feature does not require a client or application to be installed on the device that is remotely accessing the PC, and at no time is the content of your remote PC ever stored on a server or an external location.
