Please don’t use this widget at work, you will get fired. It’s definitely not an adults game-I found myself getting a kick out of killing my Tigergotchi because it was more fun than feeding him. The bars load around the perimeter of the circle that your Tigergotchi is in. The thesis is simple, keep him alive with food, water and a heart, apparently. I dare say the Japanese are still going for the idea. It was once huge over in England with the kids, but has since died out. It takes the idea from the Tamigotchi, which was a little virtual pet you had to keep alive. This one is for the kids and, although I don’t play it myself, my little nephews love coming ‘round mine to play with this. There’s not much else to say without going into the rules of Poker, but the game does make for good solo play should you be itching to raise some virtual cash. Everyone is handed two cards and then you either check, see or raise other peoples bets to carry on playing. There are 9 other players on the board and the game starts with you hitting the deal button. It’s a fully fledged poker game which works a little too fast at times, but it’s still fun. Yours truly is a lover of Poker and known to play at least twice a week, so it’s no surprise this little widget tickled me. The man appears as you start the game and every letter you get wrong, a part of his body is, it appears, ripped off. The game runs much as you’d expect, but rather than the guy being drawn onto the slipknot, he’s actually being hacked away. Hang Man, the popular word game used all over the world, has been ported over to a Widget, but with a slightly sadistic twist, but then I suppose Hang Man was always quite sadistic. Check out the screenshot included to see what other info you can read up on. iTunes Stats shows you how many songs you have, but it also shows the number of artworks, playlists, number of songs played, number of songs unplayed as well as a few other things to keep the fact-hungry guys at bay. ITunes Stats is something for fact-loving geeks who just have to know as much info about their music collections as possible. Fancy quickly changing your wallpaper to the picture you’re viewing? Then do it. My favourite feature though is the ‘set as wallpaper’ button. You also have the ability to open the currently viewed picture (in my case, Big Ben) in Preview, Safari or Mail as well as a custom selected application of your choice using the options involved. It doesn’t have all the advanced tools like iPhoto, but it does give you the option to select different albums and browse through each. IPhoto-Mini is a clever little widget that draws images from your iPhoto library and allows you to browse through your entire collection. So, to get some more attention on those useful (and sometimes useless) applications, I’ve decided to compose a list of my favourite and most used Widgets currently available. Now to those of you who are new to Tiger, I’m sure you’re wondering why your computer has a small 3cm hollow ball inside that keeps releasing gas into the system, right? Well, no, I’m not referring to the type of Widget you find in Draught beer, I’m talking about the application that runs in the background of Tiger in something called Dashboard - Hit F12 now and you’ll see what I mean. You know the ones, the ‘shut down your Mac’ widget where users basically turn off the power button via Dashboard rather than reaching around the back of your Mac. I’ve stumbled across many Widgets before and unfortunately a lot of them were rather poor and served little to no purpose what-so-ever. There’s an awful lot of widgets available that are, questionable, to say the least, but there’s also an array of interesting and useful widgets which can actually help you in your way whilst using your Mac. Little attention has really been given to Widgets since Apple made them the ‘in-thing’ in operating systems (take note of Vista using them) when Tiger was launched last year.
