Yahoo! Widget Engine

Formally Konfabulator, it runs what are called Widgets, which are created by ordinary people using fancy JavaScript, Photoshop, GIMP, and the like. There currently 3,000 widgets out now, give or take a few 100. It has everything, including a Homeland Security terrorist threat level chart, so I can see how likely I am to die today. It also takes up rediculessly LOW processor power, especially if it's in the Heads-Up-Display. I can even access UD without having to open to a browser! Lazy!

White House describes Saudi Oil attacks as their "9/11"

Tate: "Funny that this happens as the US was about to release the Saudi connection to 9/11. Kind of a good way to bury results when you Google "Saudi 9/11"
