myAmazon

Why? It doesn't cost you any extra money! This fixation with people who put referral links into their software is rather unhealthy, methinks.

the issue isnt the "cent or two" it's about saying what happens up front. it's not freeware, it's referralware, so say that.

please, that just isn't true. does f12 read you mind and present you with your search results? a more accurate description is: pressing f12, enter your search, wait for safari to load, then wait for amazon to load. that is assuming you let the widget hog screen space/system resources all the time (i know it doesn't take up processor resources but it still takes memory). otherwise you also need to click around to drag the widget out. also some people have it so that their search bar goes to amazon, that is quickest. OR if they search amazon enough to use the widget they have amazon bookmarked and dont have to enter the url as you suggest. but were are talking about a second difference here. which is the best arguement for not clutter your computer and handing someone a chunk of change because they wrote a basic piece of java.
