What do you do when you perceive a major computer company has totally ripped off your software and tout their version as a major feature of their latest operating system?
Why, you sell out, of course.
MDJ publisher Matt Deatherage, ever the trooper, offers this bit of analysis on the MacJournals-Talk list, even though he’s laid up with an illness:
Kind of a “widget wow” moment. Anyone think there will be about six billion more new Konfabulator widgets in the next 3 months? Apple just got trumped on the “we’re making our widget format available for free to more users” strategy; now Dashboard may be the underdog in the long-term.
(Just for the record, my original notification of the sale came from Matt’s post to the list.)
