Konfabulator, runner of Widgets
What Is Konfabulator?
Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.
What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today’s advanced graphics. This allows Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.
I really like Konfabulator because it looks cool yet so useful. More importantly, it’s now free since Yahoo took over. However, don’t get too carried away because it’s really a resource hungry application (don’t blame me when your computer slows down and work like a snail =P ).

Don’t forget to check out the gallery too. A lot of amazing widgets there. Choose as many as you like. 
Enjoy~!
