- Speakerboxxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It would be better if Google bought it. Yahoo is stupid.
- careyt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how will you be getting a refund? I haven't found any word anywhere that there will be refunds given out
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^lol
- kfstickman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is everyone mad that Konfabulator was aquired or that it was aquired by Yahoo. I personally don't have a problem with Yahoo. Plus the aquisition will probably make it free.
- patrickweber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NOOOOOOO... :(.. *crys*.
Darnit. - oxigen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish google bought Konfabulator, that would've been better. I can see it now: the next version of Konfabulator having Yahoo ads all over the widgets... sigh.
- asdfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yahoo!'s search results are almost always better than Google's, from my experience. I do not like the front page however, and search.yahoo.com is too much to type, plus I'm too lazy to bookmark it or change the search bar in Firefox. Yahoo!'s email was also the best before Gmail came out. So, I have no problems with Yahoo! acquiring Konfabulator. I don't even use Konfabulator because it sounds like a KDE app. When I think KDE, I think bloat. (READ: I know it has nothing to do with KDE.)
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yahoo! the next Google?
- geoboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow. This is big news (to me, at least). I hope it's all for the better. I'm pretty confident that it will be.
- endorphine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome! Now they will be porting over some of the Yahoo Mac Dashboard widgets to work on Windows. Sounds like a win/win situation for both companies.
- freemdoom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haven't used this as much since upgrading to Tiger. It was an awesome idea, so much so that Apple built it in.
- lunarboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here's another article about it, with a little more info from Arlo Rose:
http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/07/24/konfabulator/index.php - Truegod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, Yahoo is buying all the cool things (like flickr)... I hope they don't do anything bad with it. Free Konfabulator is gonna rule!
- jet3004, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This has been a long time in the making since the Konfab team found out about Dashboard. They knew that they didn't stand a chance and had been looking for a buyer for a while. Glad they found one, and YAHOO, too. Wow.
- nextsteposx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Umm i switched to Dashboard in OS X Tiger... But hmm i think this will probably have more widgets and people will stop using Dashboard as much.... Especially since this is Free and the whole Windows world will make widgets for it... Oh well back to Konfaboulos!!!
- z0rz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmm it didn't show my < rant > < / rant> tags ... Oh well
- MCKizzle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just downloaded it and figured since it is now free and on the digg webpage, may as well put a link to the digg news widget.
http://www.widgetgallery.com/dl.php?widget=36520 - Fuelrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think this is good news...with the new Mac OS things are certainly getting more difficult for the Konfab team. Yahoo finances can only help the matter. Hopefully the community continues to make widgets (even more so)
- Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome...my guess is were gonna see widgets that tell you what email you have at your yahoo email account....the latest news from myyahoo.com....search from yahoo search engine....linked to yahoo messanger among other things
- Soave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Google should make a widget program and pwn Yahoo.
- SilverRocket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0At least I'll be getting a refund.... does this mean newer and better widgets finally?
- Room101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So is it free to download now or do I have to wait until tomorrow?
- bryantee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^ I just noticed that, too. heh
- retr0spectiv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lmfao if you go to
http://www.konfabulator.com/
they have a joke at the homepage - Zivko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Say goodbye to any type of Mac support.
Not that it really matter's anymore. - brbubba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ugh, if Yahoo puts ads, yahoo messenger, or any other stupid yahoo linked thing in this I am going to be pissed. Guess I will have to keep a copy of my paid version around.
- connor2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have been using Konfabulator for a while now and love the Kontent Widget.
It is the best RSS reader around. - xtremesniper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Huzzzah! I'm glad Yahoo bought this out. I love Yahoo! hahah
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yahooooooo! Got the new free version...thank God for no more nag popups.:)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yay
- kr338r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0been using this prog for a coupla years now, very cool stuff...i'm glad aol didn't buy them!
- z0rz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0asdfasdf isn't yahoo search function built into the search bar in firefox? You just click the "G" and click Yahoo and boom you're done. Anyways I wasn't too much of a Konfabulator fan, if I need weather info I have it on my phone, on my tv, and bookmarked. I don't need it on my desktop too.
Have a nice day Yahoo sucks - ProAm500, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0when you think about it, there would be no Google if there was no Yahhhhhhoooooo
- dude3609, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Won't let me install it.. I'm on xp. wtf.. Installer keeps messing up.
- careyt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0nevermind, i found it now.
- ZedX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0BECAUSE ARLO ROSE HATES YOU
