Yahoo Buys Konfabulator

Yahoo! is buying Konfabulator from Pixoria and will do away with the $19 registration fee, releasing it as a free product. Sweet! I never liked Apple's dashboard implementation as opposed to Konfabs desktop integration.

don't forget, people who bought 2.0 will get refunded for the purchase.

Really? I always found Konfabulator too processor intensive. Dashboard can be called upon when needed.

but there are some widgets that youd like to have on the desktop always, like the calendar and clock.

EDIT: the konfabulator site has been updated. latest version is 2.1, new name might be Yahoo! Widgets. :yes:

After waiting for the official announcement from the site, Konfabulator is finally free!

Yay! Or rather, Yahoo!
