09/04/2004 01:53 PMLonghorn may be 2 years away but the battle for your desktop has
already begun. Longhorn will introduce a new user interface design
language called
XAML.
XAML on its own would be yet another user interface markup language.
But combine XAML with the compositer in Longhorn and you can imagine
all kinds of really cool mini-applications being created. When
someone talks about MacOS X's "Dashboard" bear in mind that
Microsoft's XAML predates it in announcement and may deliver much the
same thing. Widgets are essentially mini-applications but without the
overhead associated with a stand alone program. All of the
widget-enabling programs give users a tiny glimpse of the cool stuff
one might do with Longhorn and the compositer in terms of app
creation. And one can easily imagine all these widget applications
eventually supporting XAML to usher in a whole new wave of desktop
customization.
We here at Neowin have seen the rise of desktop customization over the
past few years and widgets may be the next stage in that development,
particularly when one considers the potential of Longhorn. This
article below goes through the various widget enabling programs
already available and explains what's cool about them.

The Rocket Widget
The Rocket Widget
12/30/2004 02:12 PMNow I'm not much of a drinker, but I do imbibe from time to time.
Last night I got a wild hair and picked up a six-pack of Guinness Draught
Bottles, (when I drink beer, I like to taste beer) and cracked one
open when I got home. I didn't bother reading the label or anything...
a good beer is a good beer, right? Pop the top and enjoy. The part of
the label I did read was that you don't need a glass to get the full
experience with this stuff, so bottoms up!
But when I got to the bottom of the bottle, I found something more
than beer in there.
"What the ????"
A little plastic thingy that looked to be part of the filling
equipment was rattling around inside. By this time I'm looking pretty
closely at the label for a phone number to call and complain. (I'm not
big on product liability lawsuits, but I've got to admit, the thought
of a fat settlement check did cross my mind.) The label didn't really
say anything about it, but did have a web address, and there I got the
straight poop.
Enjoy the authentic taste of GUINNESS anytime, anywhere thanks to
another clever little invention, the "rocket widget."
Once the bottle is opened, the "rocket widget" creates the famous
surge and forms the signature creamy head right inside. Every time you
take a drink from the bottle the "rocket widget" refreshes the surge
so that you get the perfect pint taste with every sip. Ingenious.
Turns out they've had this feature in their bottled brew since 2001
(shows how often I get out!) Neat idea. And thinking back, I do
remember having a bit more froth whilst sipping than I'd usually
experience with a bottle of beer. I'll have to pay more attention on
my next one.

Exclusive: interview with Mr. Sun about
the OS X Weather Dashboard widget
Exclusive: interview with Mr. Sun about
the OS X Weather Dashboard widget
06/24/2005 07:20 PMOne of my favorite Dashboard widgets is the Weather widget. It's been pretty hot and sunny for the last
few weeks here in NYC so I've been seeing quite a few pictures of my
favorite yellow celestial object depicted on the widget. I recently
had a chance to sit down with Mr.
Sun, a long-time resident of both our solar system and the
blogosphere, and I asked him about his Weather widget representations.
Here's a portion of our interview:
Jason: How did the Weather Dashboard widget project come
about?
Mr. Sun: Funny story. I'm kicking back, combustin' some
rhymes, and this spacecr
aft approaches me. I'm about to throw a flare upside its
flimsy-ass hull, when I notice it is sending a message out into the
heliosphere.The damn thing is in Apple format, and I have Windows - so
I have to download a special viewer. I finally decode the thing, and
it's from Steve Jobs about an "insanely great" idea. I vaguely knew
about him, because I'd been doing some advance work for Satan on how
best to burn Gates for eternity. I'm a special consultant, basically.
Anyway, I figured -- what the heck? So, that's how it started. Look,
what network are you with again? I don't recognize you.
Jason: Is this the type of work you want to be doing at this
point in
your 4.5 billion year career?
Mr. Sun: Look, I'm not going to radiate sunshine up your
you-know-what. I'm struggling. Back in the day, I had a great agent --
Nicolaus. Not
the brightest guy in the cosmos, but totally devoted to me. He made me
feel like I was the center of the universe. I remember I worked with
Frank Capra on Our Mr.
Sun. Just between you and me, that guy was a little too sunny even
for me -- ringing bells and angels wings -- whatever. Then, there was
the "Pee-wee incident" involving an unfortunate
choice I made in a public setting. I know it's no excuse, but I've
warned you people to wear those glasses. I was
in a slump. I started to get mean, sloppy, and pathetic. I wasn't combusting properly -- I
had
bad gas. So yes, I agreed to lend my likeness to the OS X weather
widget. Is it where I want to be right now? No. Is it an honest gig?
Yes, I think so. I've been thinking about starting a blog anyway;
someone needs to let those other Sun Shadys know
they are just imitating.
Jason: But do you really need any more exposure? You've got
the most prime advertising position in the world -- 5 or 6 billion
people a day can see you by just looking up -- what more are you
looking for?
Mr. Sun: Eyeballs. Is that all you Internet types ever think
about? You want to know who had a lot of eyeballs on him? Mahir. Do you want to be that guy
for even one minute? I KISS YOU !!!!! You ask me how I can want more.
Let me tell you a story that may help you understand. When I was
younger, I watched Daedalus and his son
fly just beneath me, soaring out of captivity on wings made of
feathers stuck with wax to a flimsy wooden frame. Drunk with freedom,
Icarus looked directly at me. I felt the panic of his watchful father,
but I was mesmerized by his youthful passion. I met his gaze. He moved
toward me and the rest they call myth. I made a vow that day to never
stay still. Yes, I am fixed in the sky -- but not at my core. The fire
that sustains me is fueled by the memory of what it took for Icarus to
make his way to me, and the debt I owe for my part in his fall to
earth. I can't repay that debt from 93 million miles away, but sitting
on your desktop, I can at least start. I am also told the Internet is
basically just one gigantic Porn Delivery Device, and I haven't had
any good jacking material since the Soviets from Mir jettisoned their
garbage. Did you ever say where you are from? Was it the Wall Street
Journal? I'd love to have one of those stencilled sketches of me.
Jason: The photography in this shoot looks more candid than
in past shoots by NASA, ground-based astronomers, or vacationing
amateurs. In one photo, it looks like you're crying and in another you
appear to be surrounded by a haze of marijuana smoke. Are we finally
seeing the real you?
Mr. Sun: Looks can be very deceiving. In this case, however,
they are not. Last year, I cried nonstop for three of your earth
months. I cried because I burn anyone who comes close to me. I cried
because I shine alone in the blackness of space. I cried because just
once, I'd like to feel pretty and I know that will never happen. As
for the haze of smoke around me, I am made of
gas. If I wasn't churning gas around, you'd all be as frozen as Ted Williams
head, so maybe you should think twice before demoting me from
life-sustaining star to orbital stoner. Look, I've been around the
block a time or two when it comes to humanity. At first, you were
fearful of me. Later, you worshipped me as a god. Now, you ask me
these cynical questions. Fine, no problem. I'll be around to see the
cycle repeat itself a few thousand more times. I'm just a star, an
ordinary star. Deal with it.
Thanks for joining us, Mr.
Sun.
