~~Konfabulator~~ Yahoo Widgets has recently been updated which includes changes to the website as well as what the software tries to install on your computer. It even wants to change your homepage to Yahoo during the process.

Yahoo has launched a new version of its widget engine, the companyâs platform for running mini desktop applications built by Yahoo or third-party developers.

Along with the release of Yahoo Widget Engine 3.0, the company also unveiled nine new applications that run on the platform, which is available in a Windows and Mac version.

The engine is offered at no charge on the company’s website.
