Amazing! This widget appears to contain code to determine if it is being run in IE (to handle the HTTP request). I cannot stress enough that you should not use this widget as it does NOT generate random passwords and that it DOES call home. I wouldn't trust this with the password to an empty file cabinet.

new version seems better, except it connects to the internet every time so not good for "on-the-run" people. it connects to planxty.dsg.cs.tcd.ie with is a page with a outer connection to random.org But why no connect to random.org?

After noting that the numbers don't seem random, you can have 2 instances running that cycle through the same series password. I noticed that it the list remains unchanged when powering down and rebooting. Meaning that the same series of passwords are cycled through never changing. I would be highly suspect of using a password from this software, unless someone can tell me why it wouldn't be a hugh security risk to use passwords supplied by some unknown party. Oddly enough Keychain helper seems to do the same thing, run through a list of password rather than generate them... very suspect.

WARNING--It's not random. At all. It produces the same passwords. Try this: place two of these widgets on your desktop. Hit generate password. On my machine it gives me the exact same password on each widget.
