I certainly didn’t see this coming. Konfabulator is the program that Apple copied to give us Dashboard in Mac OS X 10.4.

Yahoo! said the reason they purchased Konfabulator was that they wanted an easy way to open up its APIs to the developer community and allow them easy access to the information on the Yahoo! Web site. In doing this, Widgets could be built without having to scrape sites in order to get information.

I don’t use Dashboard in 10.4 and have completely disabled it. I understand it works fine in 10.4 along with Dashboard, and if your using an older version of OS X you can now download and use it for free.
