Yeah, it looks like they just took a screen shot of the Google Finance chart:

Kind of weird.
No i think it's fine. After you click it once you'll know. Takes about 3 seconds.
Agreed! Very unprofessional to take screenshots with interactive components and leave them there.
I spent a few seconds trying to drag the dang scroll bar!
It's a screenshot from Google Finance. They didn't bother to crop out the UI controls.
@thenextweb.com: please embed the real, functional widget; or, failing that, embed a chart that doesn't look like a widget. If you really, really must embed a functional-looking but non-functional picture of a widget, at least link it to the real widget.
And if for some reason none of the above is possible, and you really have to include a picture of something that looks like you can interact with it, don't make it clickable because doing so will confuse the hell out of people like me.
