Google-ize Your Browser: If you're addicted to Google, the Web's best search engine, why not put it at your fingertips? That's the idea behind the Google Toolbar, a nifty downloadable utility for Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. The toolbar embeds Google's uncannily accurate search tools into the browser itself. Google offers it in a standard edition that can detect the Web page you're visiting and report it back to Google (necessary for some features), and in a less snoopy (and slightly less capable) one aimed at privacy absolutists.... My.MP3.com Returns: Until lawsuits by music publishers killed it last year, MP3.com's My.MP3.com service--which let you listen to tunes from your CD collection on any Net-connected PC--was a boon to music lovers. Now it's back. But since MP3.com is still striking deals with publishers, not all the CDs and tracks are available yet. And unless you cough up $50 a year for a premium account, you can store only 25 CDs' worth of music. Is My.MP3.com worth paying for in this hobbled state? I'm still trying to decide.
