The Very Sad State Of TV Widgets On The Mac.

If they give an award for Eye Candy of the 21st Century, Mac OS X’s Dashboard Widgets will be a big winner.

Take widgets and TV. Puhleeze. What do you want a TV widget to do? Let you truly watch television, not spit out a list Monk reruns.

I’m being a bit harsh, but we live in the internet age. Everything is digital these days. Music, CDs, DVDs, our photos. Why not a little digital TV in the form of a Dashboard Widget.

It doesn’t take much effort to find a closet full of Widgets that do TV. But not television you.... (excerpted).
