Google Gadget Ventures: I hate Google Gadgets

Google Code - Updates: Google Gadget Ventures

Good news for Google Gadget developers. We’ve just launched Google Gadget Ventures, a new pilot program for distributing grants and seed investments to gadget developers and gadget-related businesses. We’re excited about the opportunity this will give developers to build even richer, more useful gadgets and get recognized for doing it.

For the life of me I cannot fathom why Google is so excited about these Gadgets. I hate the customized Google home page. I much prefer the clean, original default. If I want a customized gadget page, I go to Yahoo!
The Gadgets must make Google money somehow, but I don’t get it.
