Yea, it's a real shame but quicksilver seems to be dead. The original author has said how QS needs a re-write and how other software has a better idea on how thinks should run. (check out the google talk he gave). if you goto: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/issues/detail?id=15#c3 someone has been wanting to help but nobody from the Dev team has replied to the original post. It's really sad but i can't think QS any else but dead.QSB is great, but still missing some key stuff. Any information sending can be disabled but they claim that most info is for crashing/etc. I really don't like the idea of using QSB b/c it is google and they have enough of my data as is. You can disable that 'feature' but still, i don't feel that crazy about it.
I really don't understand what's been going on, but it's clear we should really either get the QS dev team to wake up, let people help out or just move on to QSB. I'm really upset that there hasn't been news in monthes.
