Konfabulator Coming to Windows

Posted by michael on from the tyranny-of-the-majority dept.

islandroots writes "Arlo Rose, developer of the popular Konfabulator widget, is moving his application from Mac OS X to Windows. Back when Apple unveiled their next OS, Mac OS X Tiger with Dashboard, Arlo Rose accused Apple of copying his application. 'We're all diehard Macintosh developers here, but we recognize that Windows is the dominant platform,' Rose said in a statement. 'When you have a great idea, you want more than 2 percent of the global market to have access to it.'"

    The quote at the bottom of the page goes, "Cheer Up! Things are getting worse at a slower rate."

    Clearly, that quote was written before the 2004 election.

    They're ultimately all ripoffs of Apple's Desk Accessories

    Which was ripped off the Xerox Star.

    Nah...its much more fun spewing the truth anonymously and seeing it get rated +5.

    As for being right, you are right, but you are only seeing one side of the story...I personally think Christianity is right...I think people that push it onto others are idiots. I think giving software away for free is right, I think forcing others to give it away for free is wrong. Live a good life and put out software as an example and hope others do the same without shackling them...

    So,

    Fuck All Ya'll
