Desktop search: Parent's-eye-view

Google's new search tool has been all over the news, but not the family angle on it. Ted Werth, dad and CEO of family-tech-support company PlumChoice, thoughtfully pointed out something you might want to know: "Parents may be able to use the Google tool to more easily understand what their children are doing with their computers.
