AIR Olympics widget from BBC

The Olympics, of course, even before it began, became the main event of the year with all these doping scandals. But the BBC offers to follow the events during it using an interesting Adobe AIR application. This is not just a news summary, you will be offered to choose an Olympic animated guide in a beautiful package.

I chose a boar for myself, but maybe you will like a monkey, or an incomprehensible creature named Sandy.

At first glance, it is clear that the BBC has taken a very serious approach to creating both the application itself and the characters. The design is made taking into account the symbols and design solutions of the Beijing Olympics itself, and the characters are funny, should appeal to children and adults, and you can even print their masks.
The application offers you to include in the feeds of articles and news only information about those sports that interest you.

As you can see, the selection is visual, you just need to drag the icon of the selected sport to an empty cell. In general, you don't even need to be able to read for this, although then why do you need this application? In addition to watching the news, you can ask the app to remind you of events that you would not like to miss. Moreover, the system itself will take care of correctly determining your time zone.

The application is installed very easily in both Windows and Mac OS X, even if Adobe AIR is not installed on your machine yet: you will simply be prompted to install Adobe AIR first.
