Hello Mark, The quota is on a per-user basis: it doesn't matter if the call is coming from a gadget, a javascript client application or a desktop application, if the authenticated user makes to much calls to the API, it will eventually reach its quota limit. However, the limit is quite high and shouldn't be an issue. But I would still discorage polling every minutes, is there a reason for such a short time frame?
You can try using the "updated-min" query parameter in order to only retrieve events that have been updated since the last poll.
