Widgets Again

I just downloaded a new widget for my Apple computer. It shows the rss service of digg:

This is a GUI that conveniently appears in a small region of the screen. One can scroll for interesting news, mainly about science and technology.

You can find about this particular widget in the Mac Format for April that I bought yesterday at the Borders Bookstore near my house.

Unfortunately this magazine comes from the UK and it takes time to get to the shelves. I got the April issue, and they already have the May issue out in England. 

The widget I am talking about is in the first of the two CDs that come with Issue 167 of the magazine; it is produced by Ominous Orb at:

There you can get the most current version. Now you can download Version 2.8

I also have widgets for weather, stocks, time, and more. I have the iStat pro telling me how much CPU is used as I am working now (User 24%, System 13%, and the rest Idle).

Of course I am also using a widget to compose and post this blog.
