Mac Widgets

Using a complicated algorithm, AIM Fight! crawls through the depths of the Internet to answer the all-important question that plagues us all: How popular am I right this second? The AIM Fight! widget allows you to have battles right from your Mac OS X Dashboard. You can have head-to-head battles or just check your current ranking. The widget keeps track of your fight results, and your constantly changing rank, allowing you graph these results. You can also configure the AIM Fight! widget to automatically check your ranking on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.Read about the development of AIM Fight! at http://dev.aol.com/article/2007/aimfight_osx_dashboard_widget  

Elephant’s Pajamas is a Mac OS X Dashboard Widget, powered by Truveo, which provides access to funny joke videos. Truveo provides a one-stop destination for searching the video resources available all over the Internet, including sources such as AOL Music, AOL Video, YouTube, CNN, NBC, Fox News, and much more. Elephant’s Pajamas utilizes the AJAX API provided by Truveo to search through all the funny joke videos available from the resources aggregated by Truveo, and then randomly selects one video, which the user can view in their web browser.
