Google has gadgets now

Well, they are calling it modules. I have been spending some time looking at their documentation and the features they have. They do some things better and we do some things better. Is the personal homepage space heating up or what? :) I am excited to be working on www.live.com. We have some stuff coming out that should take us up a notch. Should be a lot of fun competing with Google, Yahoo and the rest of the industry.

Yay Google! You guys have Widgets, I believe. You didn't steal that from Apple, no way, no way you guys would ever copy anything ever.

GO LINUX!

Apple wasn't the first to do widgets; So in your logic Apple stole the idea of widgets from apps like DesktopX, Kapsules, AveDesk & Konfabulator?
