Widgets Want to be Free

Yahoo Inc. has acquired Konfabulator, a tiny software
maker that provides a computer platform for monitoring
the weather, stock prices and a wealth of other
customized information without opening a Web browser.

If this sounds suspiciously like the Mac OS X Tiger's
'Dashboard' you would be correct.

The makers (home to that other awesome Mac GUI add-on,
'Kaleidoscope') are no doubt thrilled to be back and
the "free espresso" at Yahoo! isn't going to hurt
either.

Anyone think the future of the computer OS is going to
be decided by Apple, Google and Yahoo?
