Because, we're still finishing up a couple of the widgets. :p

We want to have everything ready on launch instead of staggering it all out as things get done.

Jeez, no need to be rude. Is there anything else you can look foward to in your life other than the release of MacWidgets.net? :rolleyes:

I'm not sure which one I'm going to use now...

The one that comes pre loaded is so clean and I like it a lot, but the new flip clock is really cool. The only problem is, that is maybe stands out a little too much. Decisions, decisions.

I'm sure I'll use a few of them though, like the iTunes one, because it has to be better than the Apple one.

it would be cool to see a "time clock" widget. So we could easily track the time we work on projects. just an idea...

Maybe he didn't wake up and update/open it yet. :p

I know we're all thinking, "open it up, please!" :)

nice!

lol all this suspense your building, making it so that everyone is going to come back at roughly the same time, is just asking for a slash-dotting :p

At least we can now see what the "Widget Machine" will look like. "Come back later today . . . "

Anyone know about what these widgets will cost?

Well, we're still launching on Monday, our originally planned date. ;)

And yes, we have several free widgets available for launch.

HE SAID LUNCH! Quick - figure out what timezone he's in - and everyone set your watches. It's clear now, that he's offering a widget that makes us lunch.
Im a genius at figuring out hints like this.

no need to thank me.


EDIT - he said launch. *goes to corner and puts on dunce cap*

Even if your free widgets are great, I'd never purchase anything from your company. Your service is terrible.

We're Apple fans! Forget good service - its all about the looks mahn! If it looks good, I'll welcome all the doo-doo like service shoved at me!

What can I say, I'm shallow

I think most apple fans would disagree with you. Its all about Apple's superior quality and service. Looks are just a nice extra.
