Microsoft Gadgets - Like when the neighbor borrows your drill and doesn't bring it back.

"Have you ever wondered how new technologies get developed in Microsoft? Wonder how a cool idea goes from incubation to release? Well, we’re excited to announce that we’ve started a blog designed to bring you closer to the process with the Gadgets blog and we’re kicking it off at the PDC.

What are Gadgets? Gadgets are a new category of mini-application designed to provide information, useful lookup, or enhance an application or service on your Windows PC or the Web. Examples might include a weather gadget running on your desktop or on your homepage, an RSS Gadget that pulls in your favorite feeds, or an extension of a business application providing just-in-time status on the pulse of your business."


I guess this is what we were supposed to be all amazed about according to Scoble. I AM amazed... that they can do this with a straight face: "a NEW category of mini-application"?

Oh well. It makes them look bad (again) and they are so clueless they don't know how bad it makes them look. Pathetic.
