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”

Guinness has a little plastic ball in it to make it foam a certain way once opened

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!!
