HTC-Inspired Desktop Clock for Windows 7

Windows only I'm not a big fan of desktop widgets, but when I saw this clock I have to admit that I was pretty impressed. It displays both the date and time wrapped up in a beautiful HTC-style skin... all of which sits comfortably on your desktop.

Clip Part of a Website to Your Desktop

Windows; Mac; Linux I'm sure we all have a handful of websites that we visit on a regular basis. A good example of that for most people is Facebook (although not for me since I don't even have an account). You probably check for new wall postings or try to ensure that your precious farm is maintained to the extremely high standard you've set.

Regex Widget for Mac OS X

Mac only A few months ago we found an awesome online regular expression (regex) utility that was something most programmers could really appreciate. Assuming you have Adobe Air installed you could also download that regex tool onto your computer so that it would also be available offline. At the time I didn't think it could get much more convenient than that, but I was wrong.

MyFive: Package Tracking Widgets

I don't know about you, but these days I find myself buying more and more stuff online rather than going to the store. Most things are cheaper on the Internet if you spend the time looking for a bargain, and nowadays many places will ship things for free. The problem is trying to keep up with all of the packages you're supposed to be receiving.

CyberNotes: Informer is the Ultimate Yahoo Widget

It's not often that I come across a single widget/gadget that is good enough to constitute it's own article, and I never expected to find one that would be good enough for its own CyberNotes article. When I tried out Informer, a Yahoo Widget, I was absolutely blown away at everything it could do. It's almost an entire application in itself!

A Look at the New "Social-Side" of Netvibes

The new Netvibes Ginger launched into a private beta yesterday, and the Netvibes team was kind enough to give us non-testers a glimpse at what it's all about.  I know for some of you, it's going to be hard to just sit by and wait for the final release which is expected to come in January, but I think the wait will be worth it.

Yahoo Widgets Gets Some Love

It looks like Yahoo has spent some considerable time designing an all new homepage for their Yahoo Widgets, and I must say, it looks good! They wanted to improve the experience, and that they did.

Yesterday Opera Watch "tagged" me so that I would write about 5 things that could make Opera better. This is kind of like a game, and since I can normally come up with a list of improvements for nearly any application, I thought it would be kind of fun.
