Widget Watch: Return of the Lava Lamp widget

I ran across this quirky story over at the always entertaining Australian daily newspaper "The Age" and thought I'd share. It's about Garry Barker's search for the elusive Lava Lamp widget.

The widget is called "I Love Lamp" and can be downloaded at iSlayer.com. Despite being ranked as the #1 widget over at Apple, it suddenly disappeared a few months ago. Barker writes that the widget was pulled by Apple after receiving a cease and desist order from LavaWorld, the real-life Lava Lamp manufacturer. After hammering out a deal, the widget has returned and now includes a link to LavaWorld. Ah lawyers, how they enhance our lives.
