Slashdot is reporting that Yahoo have bought Konfabulator, and I don't
have a clue what Konfabulator is.

Turns out that it - http://www.konfabulator.com/info - is a package that
lets you run javascript apps on the desktop.  The key seems to be that it
lets you easily integrate info from the 'net (RSS feeds) with nice desktop
graphics.

There's a comment on /. saying "Microsoft will find this difficult to mess
up", but isn't RSS integration one of the big features of longhorn?

A gallery of "widgets" here - http://www.widgetgallery.com/
