Google Gadgets Now Available For Your Own Website

This article was written on October 03, 2006 by CyberNet.

Google will now let you put Google Gadgets all over your website. I decided to give it a try and it is actually pretty cool. I just went to the Google Gadget site, selected the gadget I wanted, customized the border, and had it generate the code. I pasted the code right into this post and it amazingly worked without any troubles.

The gadget above is for the Google Calculator which lets you easily do conversions or some simple math. If you’re not sure how to use it then maybe you should checkout this post that I wrote on the Google Calculator.

The whole gadget thing is really cool for one reason in my opinion. That reason being how easy it is for people to add powerful AJAX functionality to any site without the need for digging through messy code. I don’t think it can get much easier than “copy…paste”.

What would be really cool is if Netvibes let you insert the JavaScript code so that I could get a few of the Google Gadgets that I miss. *Hey Netvibes…Hint Hint* :)

Amazon launches 69-cent MP3 store for chart-toppers

The company’s just launched a new $0.69 section on its website, which offers best-selling tracks for (you guessed it) 69 cents apiece. That’s down from $0.89 before, which already had iTunes handily beat in terms of pricing — Apple is still asking $1.29 for many of the same songs.

Square to add encryption to mobile card reader, skimmers put on notice


It’s only been a couple days since we first heard about Visa’s involvement with Square, but the credit card giant is already making its mark on the mobile payment startup. At the Visa Global Security Summit on Wednesday, Square Security Lead Sam Quigley revealed that the company will distribute an encrypted card reader this summer, which will work exclusively with its mobile payment app. The current reader theoretically scans credit card data to any app, but the encrypted version will only work with Square, which should alleviate VeriFone’s concern that the company was essentially distributing “card skimmers” to anyone with a social security number. Luckily, the new encrypted reader will remain free, giving Square a colossal advantage over VeriFone’s Payware Mobile product, which carries a $49 activation fee, in addition to standard merchant fees. Not to mention, it isn’t available in white.
