[QUOTE="Ex_PC_Puke, post: 110024"] Interesting - and coming from the windows world - I did have a concern about dashboard objects as being an entry point into the OS --- I wold hope that Apple would ensure that a widget has certain rules as they are either - Totally passive just displaying info - Interactive making a request - then displaying results A widget should only be able to opeaterate in the memory space allowed for widgets and should have some limit on memory foot print Widgets do need to be contained !!!! Apple may need to make a widget manager / snooper - helps you totally exorcise (with predjudice) a widget from the dash board - Snoops for strange widget behavior - Bandwidth hogging - sending / receiving too much crap i.e. bandwidth [/QUOTE]
