The question is, where are the 'porn picture of the day' or 'porn movie of the day' widgets?

Of course brought to you by the a-holes at C|net:

"Mac malware door creaks open
Jo Best
silicon.com
Dashboard, one of the much-publicised features of Apple Computer's latest OS, Tiger, could be ripe for exploitation by porn scammers.
Apple has been encouraging developers to create new widgets for Tiger's Dashboard -- a semi-transparent layer of everyday, often-used applications such as a calculator or currency converter that appears over the user's desktop -- but within days of its public release, one developer claims to have already found a way to turn widgets into potential malware.
Developer Stephan, who has posted the widgets to his blog, has created two mini-apps which he describes as "slightly evil." One widget, he says, will automatically install itself on users' desktops when his "Zaptastic" Web site is visited using Apple's Safari browser.
This, according to Stephan, is a golden opportunity for porn scammers, enabling them to auto-install widgets that can hijack browsers.
According to Stephan's blog: "I happen to like (auto-install). I think it's a great thing. But, as I have demonstrated here, it has the side effect of setting up a situation where a user can be given an application without their knowledge.
"That's not such a big deal; by default, widgets can't do much damage, and they can't run unless you drop them into your dashboard. The funny thing is that once that widget is there, according to Apple, you CANNOT remove it."
Widgets cannot be removed directly from the toolbar, but they can however be deleted from the Library folder."
Are these people stupid?
WIdgets cannot be removed directly from the toolbar but they can be deleted from teh library. DUH.
I guess they don't know Mac. Do they?

Why can't you delete them from the toolbar? That seems like an obvious feature for the future. The first time you do it, dashboard asks you if you'd like to move the files in question to the trash or a back up directory. You know, like how on System 9 there were the Start up Items and the Disabled Start up Items.

I want the Jobs-tracker widget. Tells you where Steve Jobs is today, what he's eaten so far, words of advice for the day (even if they're "You idiot!"), etc. etc.

According to the rumor sites, this is coming in 10.4.2.

While I do like the Widget, I was partly laying it out as bait. So what if you didn't mean to bite.
Enter next piece:
Of course AAR didn't go under. Why would they have?
