My friend Keith is a super-sharp computer whiz and very creative. He made this Subtle Tunes remote control for iTunes. It’s great for when you’re working on something on your computer but want to be able to control iTunes quickly and easily, and see what’s currently playing. It’s part of Yahoo’s widget engine (which they bought from a company called Konfabulator).

If you’re not familiar with Yahoo’s widget engine, it allows little programs to run on your desktop. Anyone can build a program for it, and there are thousands to download in all different types of categories such as weather, news, and games all in the widget gallery.
