@verizon.net | Does anyone use widgets? Seriously -- I think the Verizon tech showed me the weather widget when he installed FiOS, and I've never used it or any other widget since. | |

I already hate the little network logos they put on the screen in the bottom right hand corner. What I don't need is more useless nonsense blocking the view of the TV show onscreen.
Maybe someone can write a widget that erases the network logo in the corner. Now that would be a widget worth having.

Verizon nor any other cable or satellite company doesn't put network logos on the corner of the screen. Networks themselves embed them. Its their way of reminding you what channel you're watching  .

They used to be fairly small and inoffensive, however they now take up a quarter of the screen and are animated. Its a fitting name really, because they 'bug' the hell out of me!

| Re: Does anyone use widgets? Called "bugs" because they are like the bugs on the windshield!
Annoying. Distracting. And now, getting BIGGER, and animated.
(you know, you are watching a show and this actress walks out, does a 360 with her hair flowing and crosses her arms. EFF YOU Missus Bacon!)
Back to the matter at hand, no, I use widgets on my computer. Briefly and to the point. I do like the idea of a widget to show someone calling, or the weather, or if I have email or won that eBay bid. But other than that...whatever floats your boat.
But what I don't want and I am hearing it is coming, is the advertising IN the menus. Its pathetic enough that I have to watch some buxom brunette smile about Rosetta stone, and then some idiots rant about how great Direct Buy is, and then those awful "Billy Mays" pitched crapwares, or the numerous drug and "male enhancement" commercials...
I think I'm going Luddite and be happy. Bye!  | |
