Title: Konfabulator vs Dashboard Post by: BTs_Mysterio on July 04, 2004, 05:39:01 am Well for those who actually follow the latest in Mac news it seems the makers of Konfabulator claim that Apple ripped off their application (http://www.konfabulator.com/) with the new Tiger feature Dashboard. Though through further detail Apple has had similar technology since Mac OS 1. Now certainly Konfabulator make this tech work, but who really make it useful first? Who is more original?

Title: Re:Konfabulator vs Dashboard Post by: BTs_Mysterio on July 04, 2004, 06:03:13 pm What are you talking about. Anyone who voted Konfabulator as original needs to explain to me why. I mean they copied it from a lazy OS9 feature, and OS9 copied it from windows 95 who copied it from Mac OS 1. Come on people, heated TIGGGERRRR debate!

I ment the command + tab feature that lets you switch between applications. Apple was accused of copying the current visual appearance of that function from some software company. The function itself was invented by apple, as far as I know, but somewhere along the line of osX developing along came the "pop up" that highlights the selected application. If this is what you were questioning and you won't take my word for it I can dig up a link, but only if it is really needed :) Anyway, I'm happy either way, keep the cool features coming (even if they are ripped from someone else) LiteSwitchX (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/news_story.php?id=49500&rel) Title: Re:Konfabulator vs Dashboard Post by: crypt on July 04, 2004, 11:57:29 pm <rant>
Dashboard is better, I personally don't give a fuck if this guy is upset about his software. No one is gonna spend $25 on a piece of shit program that is a resource hog. This guy used to work at Apple, I bet he had info about future things Apple was looking at. </rant> Title: Re:Konfabulator vs Dashboard Post by: seth on July 06, 2004, 04:37:16 pm this thread should be renamed original vs copycat .
