Use google gadgets on your own site

From GoogleBlog

It's crazy over here -- in the last few months, we've had thousands of gadgets submitted for the Google Personalized Homepage5. If you've used it, you've seen them -- those useful little units you can add, remove, and move around on your page. We have old-school games, clocks, calendars, and horoscopes. We've got a VAT calculator6. We've got a pony7.

8We've extended these gadgets to work on Google Desktop9 and Google Pages10, but it occurred to us that these would be slick on other people's web pages, too.

Today we're opening up our gadget inventory for your viewing and cloning pleasure. In other words, now you can copy and paste some simple HTML to add the Google Gadgets you like to your own webpage. Check out our directory of Google Gadgets for your webpage11 to see all the options. And as always, if you can't find one like the one you had in mind, you can always write a gadget12 yourself.

According to theory it has energy and momentum but no mass and this is confirmed by experiment to within strict limits.

This is not evidence that it has mass since momentum can exist without mass. [ For details see the Physics FAQ article What is the mass of the photon? ]. Sometimes people like to say that the photon does have mass because a photon has energy E = hf where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon. Energy, they say, is equivalent to mass according to Einstein's famous formula E = m...
