Yahoo! Widgets are small, specific applications that you can run on your Windows or Mac OS desktop. A Widget can do almost anything from displaying a weather forecast to playing a game. Widgets generally sit on your desktop and don't look like applications as we're used to seeing them in a standard window. Instead, Widgets tend to look like small pictures or animations. Yahoo! Widgets help you save time and stay current by bringing an always-updated, at-a-glance view of your favorite Internet services right to your desktop. The Yahoo! Widget Gallery offers over 4,000 desktop Widgets - the most available anywhere online. Yahoo! Widgets is the only major desktop Widgets platform that works on both Windows and Mac OSes.

if only they wouldn't take that much memory while running...

My issue was always with the multiple processes. It just seems like a poor implementation to me.

Would be such a great app if it didn't use so many resources.

Yeah I know. I only have the weather widget running and the engine itself is using around 6 megs and the weather app is 25+.

I like it, but........ whoever (I do know but won't advertise) does the feed for the weather widget never gets it right.
