No more Widgets, no more Rixstep and no more Sinbad. Please, Apple, all I want is Sherlock to work as intended. Not all these other resource hogs. Bring back my SHERLOCK!

Why? If you live in the United States, I assume Sherlock was quite good, but elsewhere in the world it was crap. I could do language translation and dictionary lookups, but that was pretty much it.

Now with Sinbad (which isn't bad at all - I quite like it) and widgets, I get much more functionality, by orders of magnitude, than Sherlock ever offered. And they're only resource hog when they're activated. Don't press F12, and they hardly tick over at all.
