Widget Watch: Uselss widgets

By Dave Caolo

It's true that some widgets are more useful than others. Many of you, I'm sure, will say they're pretty much all useless. It's for you nay-sayers that we point out Non Stop Mac's list of Pretty Useless Widgets. No Konfabulator Yahoo! Widgets Engine widgets made the list (gasp!), but here are some of the Dashboard doozies Non Stop Mac picked out:

  • The Guy who Invented Beer: This widget compares the invention of beer to other discoveries. Riveting.
  • Panda Name Generator: Type your name, and this widget tells you what your name would be if you were a panda bear. Even panda bears aren't interested.

There are more, of course. So, TUAWers, what are your favorite (if "favorite" is the right word) useless widgets?

Thanks, Mirko!
