Yahoo Buys Konfabulator
Wow, this was unexpected. Konfabulator is a company that created widgets for Mac OS X. When apple released Tiger with its own software called dashboard which used their own set of widgets (Apple basically stole the idea from Konfabulator) it hurt Konfabulators business. They vowed to seek revenge by creating widgets for the Windows operating system. Now it seems Yahoo purchased them… good for them. [Link]

I get SO annoyed when colleagues of mine download Konfabulator on their PCs.
It somehow reminds me of Bonzi Buddy and suddenly mental images of spyware propagating throughout the office network flash through my mind.
(I’m talking about the Konfabulator thingymajig that comes for PCs. It has the analog clock, weather alert etc.)
