	widget - a Whatis.com definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Widgets include icons, pull-down menus, buttons, selection boxes, progress indicators, on-off checkmarks, scroll bars, windows, window edges (that let you resize the window), toggle buttons, forms, and many other devices for displaying information and for inviting, accepting, and responding to user actions.
		In programming, a widget also means the small program that is written in order to describe what a particular widget looks like, how it behaves, and how it interacts in response to user actions.
		In object-oriented programming (OOP), each type of widget is defined as a class (or a subclass under a broad generic widget class) and is always associated with a particular window.

	Zero Memory Widget
		In such a library, there is no widget reference, so widget programming is easier even in a low level language such as C. Programs are more robust because they do not use pointers, make no memory management and do not translate data between application and widget.
		To set the attributes of a widget, it is not possible to use the widget's pointer so a current state is used as in OpenGL.
		Most classic widgets were integrated into the library, and it is possible to integrate widgets of all kinds without any problem.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Widget
		The alt.usage.english FAQ gives the origin of "widget" as the 1924 play "Beggar on Horseback", by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly, as an invented term for the product manufactured by one of the characters; that the protagonist never learns just what "widgets" are is part of the point.
		Though "widget" usually refers to small unspecified devices, it has, in a strange twist, become the name of certain specific ones as well.
		The original widget was patented in the UK by Boddingtons.

	MacDevCenter.com -- Let's Build Another Dashboard Widget
		Widgets, because they are hosted on a local machine, depend more on the ability of JavaScript to get work done and less on a remote server.
		In a similar way, deploying widgets is a pain for developers because they need to put together a package with several pieces and files before they get the chance to develop any code.
		Another option for widget developers is to use Amnesty Widget Browser to test widgets outside of Dashboard.

		Amnesty Widget Browser is a utility for Mac OS X Tiger and Panther (10.3.9) that allows Dashboard widgets to have expanded capabilities as they run directly on your desktop via a convenient icon in your system menu bar.
		Widgets loaded in Amnesty Widget Browser run completely outside of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature adjustable display settings such as window level (desktop, standard or floating), opacity (transparency) and shape (now you can rotate and scale your widgets so they fit on your desktop where you want them).
		And to keep things nice and tidy, groups of widgets can be arranged into multiple virtual workspaces that can be called up —by menu or hot key—to your screen at any time.
