As someone that’s not a beer drinker… What is a widget?

It’s a little embeddable mini-app that you can put on the home screen of your phone along with your app icons. For example, you might display the current weather on your home screen using a widget.

Very helpful, thanks. I’m glad I upgraded to Windows Vista, because now I can use the widgets!!

It’s a plastic ball with a tiny hole in it. When you open the beer, the compressed gas, nitrogen and co2, sprays out of that hole into the beer, making it creamy and frothy. Guinness isn’t meant to be carbonated like most beer, so it’s never “foamy”

The widget is so nice and crunchy though.
