This explains my confusion. I have many apps that whenever I look they always are always running and seem to always have a foot print in memory. So when I searched and found no trace of CC even though I knew something happened because my widget was populated I was confused.

Certainly this is my experience.

No apology required. I don't know what some folks are thinking when they deploy an "angry" icon. Do they think it some how helps? If I was talking about a bad experience with a company or individual I might use an angry icon, but if I was requesting something special from that company or individual it just doesn't make sense.
