Yahoo Widgets 4

http://widgets.yahoo.com/

Some readers may be wondering: “What can widgets do for me?” These little tools have come a long way from their days as fictional products used in business school textbooks, and they are generating a great deal of attention on computer desktop settings. Yahoo has developed a number of new and helpful widgets and placed them on this site. Visitors can look over widgets that display a full year calendar in one column, streaming television, and countless news feeds. Visitors can also browse various widget categories, including “System Utilities”, “Cam Viewers”, and “Search Tools”. These widgets can be used with computers running Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.

MagiCal 1.09

With its elegant and simple design, MagiCal 1.09 is at once both a menu-based clock and a calendar. As the permutations it affords for displaying how time and date are displayed range in the thousands, visitors can tinker with this application to their heart’s content. This version is compatible with all computers running Max OS X 10.3. [KMG]
