Mac Widget time
Posted on 17:41 by Unknown
Q. Which fruit was not an iMac color: Blueberry, Lime, Strawberry, Orange, Grape?
Q. Which phrase is not originally from Steve: "insanely great," "There's one more thing," or "Great artists steal"?
Q. Where did the famous 1984 commercial air?
--------------------------------------------
A. The orange iMac was called "tangerine."
A. Although Steve has been known to use "Good artists create. Great artists steal," that second sentence originated with Pablo Picasso.
A. Half-credit if you named Super Bowl XVIII on January 24, 1984. The commercial also aired in Twin Falls, Idaho to qualify for 1983's advertising awards.
If you correctly answered these questions, chances are good you want to know about three Mac Dashboard Widgets that Google has created for OS X Tiger. The Blogger Widget enables quick and easy posting to your blog. Checking your Gmail inbox becomes a matter of pressing F12 with the Gmail Widget. And the Search History Widget allows you find that website you saw last week while searching Google. We'd also like to acknowledge the many great Google widgets people have already created, available on the Apple downloads page.
These widgets, which sprang from the brains of some engineers in their 20% time, are a small step towards bringing our software to a variety of platforms. Want to play? Check out our job listings and come build more Mac stuff with us.
