Quicksilver hides almost unbounded power beneath the interface of a keyboard-driven launcher. Using a basic grammatical model, it allows you to move beyond basic search and work effortlessly with applications, data, and the web. Quickilver is above all a prototype intended to explore newforms of interaction.

In this talk, we will explore the motivation behind Quicksilver, highlights of its implementation, lessons learned from its design, and the ways it might inform the future of navigation for the desktop and the web.

This is strange. A few months ago I had a problem exactly with the iTunes plugin, but after I updated with the latest version of quicksilver from the official site it downloaded and installed like a snap.

No, I've looked into all the possibilities... it looks like the iTunes plugin just isn't on their server any more.

May be you haven't updated with the latest version. Check for a new version on the web site.
