    Yahoo Widgets Gets Some Love

    This article was written on November 29, 2007 by CyberNet.

    It looks like Yahoo has spent some considerable time designing an all new homepage for their Yahoo Widgets, and I must say, it looks good! They wanted to improve the experience, and that they did. They’ve also launched a new version of Yahoo! Widgets (Konfabulator) version 4.5 which has new features and some fixes. You can find the upgrade for that here.

    One big change with the newly redesigned homepage is that searching is faster, and the results you get seem to be more related to what you’re actually looking for. The widget homepage also has a quick way to browse by displaying top rated widgets (like mini iTunes Remote, and iTunes Bar) as well as a list of new ones. Additional features include:

    • Rate widgets on a 1-5 star scale
    • Vote for widgets if they are “beautiful,” “useful,” or “fun”
    • More info on what each widget does so you’ll know before downloading if you want it
    • An improved comment system makes commenting and reading comments easier
    • Some widgets have been improved/more to choose from

     yahoo widget engine

    Among changes with the Widgets engine is support for HTML and Flash. That means that developers are now able to code their widgets in Flash and HTML. Additionally, users will be able to use some of their Netvibes widgets as Yahoo widgets (thanks to Netvibes’ UWA) which is a nice touch. Overall, I’d say Yahoo gets two thumbs up on this one!

    Steve Jobs built his castle through Apple from which to oversee a digital kingdom, complete with the world’s most sought-after walled garden seeded with beautiful devices in constant bloom. Jobs was as much a king of computers as Shakespeare’s Henry V was king of England, or at least that’s the premise behind an opera that mashes up the lives of the two leaders, which debuts Friday at the Theatre de la Renaissance in France.

    iPhone 5c’s Disappointing Performance Seen In China As Well

    iPhone 5cs Disappointing Performance Seen In China As Well

    Before it was officially announced, rumors claimed that the iPhone 5c would be a major win for Apple. That’s because this phone was expected to be competitively priced so much so that it would be as a strong contender in emerging markets. China and India were cited as the two markets where iPhone 5c could perform very well. However when it was unveiled, all rumors about its price went out the window, particularly about price in emerging markets. In China, the iPhone 5c is barely any cheaper than the iPhone 5s, and that could be one of the reasons behind its disappointing performance.
