Wave Gadgets
With the advent of Google Wave, gadgets can now have persistent storage and multi-user capabilities and better state management. Gadgets using Google Wave in this way are simply known as 'Wave Gadgets'. For instance, a game that is written using a Google Gadget can use Google Wave technology to record a list of users and high scores without having to worry about how to permanently store the scores on a hosted server. The use of Google Wave gives the gadget multi-user and permanent storage capabilities. For example, scores can be stored in a Google Wave which is hosted permanently by Google at no cost to the user.

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or gadgets:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Man is by nature a pragmatic materialist, a mechanic, a lover of gadgets and gadgetry; and these are qualities that characterize the “establishment” which regulates modern society: pragmatism, materialism, mechanization, and gadgetry. Woman, on the other hand, is a practical idealist, a humanitarian with a strong sense of noblesse oblige, an altruist rather than a capitalist.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
