yahoo widgets

[jamiethearcher]

I saw these mentioned in the desktop thread, and thought they looked pretty freaking nifty.

I have had some difficulty with spyware/malware problems in the past - are there any of these issues with widgets? any other downsides I should be aware of before downloading the program?

thanks alot!

i havent had any, and i found alot of them were cool, but useless. And this should be in the Computer talk thread shouldnt it?

On Topic - Widgets used to be part of a program called 'Konfabulator' - at that time it was shareware. I've used a few of them, such as the weather etc - quite useful, but a bit of a resource hog.
