Yahoo Purchases Konfabulator

NerdyPunk2ML writes "Macworld news has an article about Yahoo's acquisition of Konfabulator, which will be announced Monday. Yahoo company executives said they will be giving Konfabulator away for free, completely doing away with the US$19.95 currently charged for the product. The reason they purchased Konfabulator was they wanted an easy way to open up its APIs to the developer community and allow them easy access to the information on the Yahoo web site." From the article: "The acquisition of Konfabulator may not be the last Mac compatible product users see from Yahoo! While Schneider wasn't specific, he did say that there was interest in the Mac. 'There is a move at Yahoo! -- in addition to Konfabulator -- to move more onto the Mac,' said Schneider. 'We want to make sure we find a way to be more cross platform.'"

I hate complaining, but this is the submission:

It should be like this:

I know it is silly - but we always linked on the verbs, and I think we should try to do that more. Then, maybe at least one link to a relevant site is needed to help out the clueless. If we are being shown RAID 101 stories, are we expected to know every piece of software out there?

Will it make a difference?

When Apple makes it transition to x86 will it make a difference if Yahoo has G5 compatible software?

Ah, there's your problem. You're not supposed to press Esc, v, j, j, j, E, ", +, y, Shift-Down, e, *damn*, k, ", +, g, P and i all at the same time! (Relax, I use it too when I can't use Kate or Textpad or Scintilla or EDLIN.)

Thanks for the advice, AC. I remember when I had my first beer, enjoy!

I don't see you getting +5 informative since not only did someone beat you to the punch, that someone even included the Wikipedia content in their comment. Sorry. :-)

Grammer nazi's what?

Surely you wouldn't inadvertently use an inappropriate apostrophe when flaming about grammar, would you? That must have been teh deliberate.
