I was just curious, how many folks use widgets almost daily?

Anyone use Telekinesis yet?

@ Road Warrior

I use widgets daily. Weather, and traffic cameras are the 2 big ones.

@ Red Hot Ryder

Telekinesis is pretty nice. The concept is cool and will be cooler once it gets some more functionality built in. I think the best part is you can customize it to suit your needs.

MDN MW: programs, as in "These are the only programs we're gonna get for now."

@ Red Hot Ryder

I stumbled across this on quickjournel. Someone, using Telekinesis, was able to play World of Warcraft on his iPhone. Well, not play so much as chat, but still pretty cool.

gOffice is pretty cool. wrote a note, sent it to myself and opened on it my work pc. opened in MS Word no problem.

So, there goes the word document fear. Well, it can be improved on if you can actually open and edit through there, or import it there. As of right now, it's only creation. but, that's a start.

@Road Warrior
Not me!. I spend too much time reading MDN. No time for messing around with widgets. Now, excuse me, I've got to go and do the ironing.

I dislike widgets. If I like a widget enough I use Amnesty Singles to make in an application and open it when I feel so inclined. Dashboard with a bunch of widgets, to me, is unnecessary cpu and memory use. Plus, for things like the calculator and dictionary I just use QuickSilver. One widget I really like, however, is the new Leopard Movies widget. I copied it from Leopard into Tiger and then used Amnesty Singles and its an awesome Movie time/purchase/watch trailer program.

"at road" I do

@shawn

oh my, who would have guessed that a device like the iPhone could handle something as complex as a word document? I didn't think the iPhone was that impressive before, but that changes everything.

CarCalc is pretty cool, but it doesn't allow for tax and license, which results in an inaccurate payment.

If there were an email address to submit the request to, I would do so, but there is none.

Widgets? Absolutely, every few minutes.

Top ones: Converter, Translator, Thesaurus, Wiki.

They're a real gem

Is there a widget to help me drain the whey out my Camel's Milk Cheese?

I would have though they'd at lest have Rolling Marbles,
MarbleBlast or something like those.

..how about a widget that can take all my junk email ...trace a route back to the responsible prick and stuff every last syllable in his eye ..and a virtual fireplace and hot chocolate while I watch.

I have a widget and it does something, but I'm not sure what. I just keep clicking it.

@thelonousMac
I have a widget like that aslo and it began behaiving like yours after I got older

HEYSAN chat is great, but I can't get MSN buddies to show. Anyone have the same problem?

Hey Camel,

Still at it? Ya know, one of these days you're going to post something intelligent. But by then, most of the readers here will be so tired of your sh*t that they'll just pass it by.

Give it up, Dude.

If I bugger my camels hard before milking them, I get butter.
