leave it to apple to popularize an existing idea.
a few months ago i was showing off objectdesktop software to one of our IT guys at the office. applejuice pumps through his veins, we always bicker at each other over coffee. i showed him desktopx, and the widget ability, and didn't get much more than a half-hearted "that's nice" in return.. i think he said something about how they were pointless.
the other day i was down there to say hi, and noticed he had a mac mini set up amidst the PC-ridden workbench. i said 'oh, does that have Tiger on it?' and he said "yeah! and look at THIS:" - he punched a hot key which brought up a field of widgets.
i think i'll get the apple logo tattooed on my forehead, so poeple pay more attention to me.
