Tired of plain desktop? Get Yahoo! Widgets..

----------------------------------------------------------

Yea, I know these few days I've been blogging alot, and I admit that I am quite free, to a certain extent..

Perhaps, the most significant feature of Windows Vista with its predecessors is the availability of the Vista Gadget Sidebar.

‘Sadly available for Vista users only…’

The Sidebar is definitely a useful addition, as the users can beef up the capabilities of the PC with all sorts of tools; such as media display tools, organizers, simple reminders, and even fancy clocks.

Like myself, I am an occasional user of the Post-it note feature as you all may know; I am a pretty forgetful person myself.

But what if you are not a Vista user?

Fret not; cause Yahoo! Has a solution for you.

Introducing, Yahoo! Widget 4.0, an alternative for a Vista Sidebar where you can have functions as handy yet easily customizable.

‘Ta da…’

The Widget can be downloaded from http://widgets.yahoo.com/. The latest version comes with a handful of tools; battery meter, weather meter, clocks, Yahoo! Mail checker, CPU portal, iTunes remote, picture frame, organizers and many more.

It is graphically sleek and most of them are customizable, where users can go to the widget gallery to add on more geeky or cool tools, whether just to impress or to really ease you off a certain task.

'It is interesting to see how detail the graphic is for the widgets..’

In a whole, Widgets is a useful toy to play around with and at the same time keep you up to date with news feed which you can subscribe. With such fanciness and handiness it does come with some hefty requirements. In terms of hardware, the widgets differ according to memory demand but definitely more is always better here. It is able to run in both Mac OS (Mac OS X10.3.9 or greater) and Windows platform (Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2000 SP4 minimum. Latest service packs and updates recommended).

‘Now, now. How about both working together? Wha-la!!’

So, if you are looking for some decorations for your desktop, delay no longer. Get your Yahoo! Widget now!
