- whatever news item you MOUSE OVER will make the respective article PHOTO pop out on one side of the Widget, and the TEXT pop out on the other, similar to how Mailboxes appear in Mail perhaps!

- CLICKING any news item will take you directly to the individual article's page.

- CLICKING on the ENGADGET logo will take you to the homepage.

I am too computer illiterate to do this myself but perhaps someone will like this idea.

Hopefully the Engadget editors will fix the headline quickly to avoid too much confusion :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Desktop, meet Engadget.

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/
I think Dashboard should be referred to as the "other" widget app.

That all said - wheres my Dashboard Engadget widget? This blows. :P]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/

Long live Konfabulator. At least Konfabulator is constantly updated. Dashboard won't be updated again until Lion or whatever 10.5 is.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/
Dashboard's been updated two times, once a major update in 10.4.2.

Expect revisions throughout all the free 10.4.x updates.
Some people - do your homework!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/

Except that.. you know.. all Tiger users have Dashboard and only a fraction of PC users even know what Konfab is...

Dashboard has been out for a few months and already has about the same amount of Widgets as Konfab (Dashboards up around 1040 by now.. Konfab was around 1000 last i heard)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/the-engadget-konfabulator-widget/I mean it's ugly!

Why do you take a cool widget and modify the code?
(delete the copyright comment and you're right)
for the dashboard I used the BBC widget. It has the back too. Very cool.

Like everyone (developers and users) would suddenly get in bed with Yahoo...

Even if Konfab is good technology and is free, in the wild wild world of Windows apps it will fail. Yahoo will own any widget you submit to them, and by the way Konfab did not become open-source, Yahoo owns it and can do whatever they want with it.

Dashboard is already installed part of OS X Tiger, while Konfab requires installing a third-party application, and most people are reluctant to do this.
