Still waiting for Google Scholar

I always need to download an item I search and find with the Google Scholar or at least I should simply keep the reference since this versatile search provides the first page or at least an abstract. In this way I do not need to manually type in the details to my EndNote 9 citations manager which is now a very integral part of my scientific writing. On the same breathe, I shall be delighted to find a link from Google Book Search that provides for a "download to citations manager" link just like in say Scirus. It is basically because I can see the Table of contents without having to get a physical book, I can search a chapter and get exerpts etc. Google does provide book details such as publisher, edition, year etc...I need to manage it as a citation. Can sb at Google, or any other developer provide a plug-in for these items? It would do the research community a great deal of good. Thanks

Are Google, Microsoft, Firefox fighting for my desktop real estate?

I have noticed that each time I switch on the pc, Firefox cannot connect to Google, Yahoo etc. If I should copy the URL and paste into IE 7 Beta, I swiftly get i. At some stage during the day, the service becomes available...although for some time now I cannot access my hotmail a/c.

Question is: Are Google, Firefox and Microsoft waging their war for net control right under my nose ? Are they fighting for my desktop real-estate? Sb help!

OneCare Live

Hi,

I am not sure that anybody will read, let alone respond to this. I'm a proud user of the ugraded product which you offered recently for betra trialists. I have two grouses:

1. Why do still get a conflict between my resident windows firewall and the OneCare firewall. I find the prompting very nagging....sort spywarish and I HATE it. Please fix this.

2. My system is configured by default to detect and download updates; I use genuine Windows XP and Office 2003. When I get the orange colour on OneCare and click on "contact windows update", the browser shows a system denial error. Why take me there in the first place. I LOVE green and don't wish to be nagged by software. That's why I saved for and bought GENUINE stuff....this is not easy iof you live where I live.

Thanks for a good product nonetheless.

Calling on Google Scholar/ books

I regularly use Google Scholar and Google Books search services as every other ardent Googler does. Recently I have also formed a habit of sneaking on book chapters and contents on topical issues of interest to my reserach. I have spent considerable time constructing my citation/ reference libraries using the superpowerful EndNote version 9. However, I am sad. Though I appreciate the digital library that Google has built and the volume of info available to me for free I would love to have a way to add a book chapter, journal article and especially with the Google powered Crossref, I want to seamlessly export citations to my EndNote. Can somebody somewhere with the necessary fluency in these tools translate my challenge? Just look at Scirus and see the ability to export citations. I mean we researchers require such a service within the power of Google. Otherwise thank you very much Google for the good effort.
