I was a big fan of Yahoo Widgets when I was younger and would really like to relive that. The Widget Engine runs fine on the latest version of Windows, but the Widget Gallery is long gone.It's an incredibly long shot, but I was wondering if there was anyone about that worked at Yahoo at the time that would know if there's any chance the original files might be sitting about on a hard drive...
Not saying it's unfair, just that it kind of sucks.
In that regard, it seems more risky to try any funny business with it. With the traditional self scans, cameras aside, it's quite easy to fool them, and they are reliable and predictable machines. I'm sure it would be easy to slip something at the bottom of your bag, but if you get caught on an audit, I'm sure it sets a flag to audit you more often.
The scan-at-end checkouts can be used without identity, where as the scan-as-you go, at least for my supermarket, you have to log into an account linked to your identity before it's used. This may deter a lot of casual theft.
