different key and decide whether to use a simpler version of it if

12/19/2004 03:18 PM Sputnik rolls out additional hotspot management features: Sputnik is
the little company that could, and I don't mean it patronizingly. The
company from its founding has continued to chart the course of best
answering the needs of the customers that they find are most in need
of their product. Sure, that's the way that all companies should work,
but Sputnik has stayed small and focused and their "niche" product has
increasingly broad applications as a result. Their latest addition to
their managed access point software package are two important billing
options that provide hotspot operators with a great deal of
flexibility in accepting payment from their customers at the least
ongoing cost. A PayPal module ($299, 100 APs, no transaction fees)
integrates Sputnik's Control Center software into the massive payment
system to allow one-time payments for use. Hotspot operators set the
price. Interestingly, operators can also opt to work with a
third-party, OurWebPortals, that can handle PayPal payments for
hotspot access through the Sputnik system for a $50 setup fee and
transaction fees based on monthly volume. A more elaborate module
integrates Control Center with Aria Systems' billing and customer
management system for handling accounts and fees. This lets hotspot
operators set up billing plans while customer can pay by bank transfer
or credit card. Aria manages the account infrastructure. This module
is $499 for up to 100 APs, with additional fees charged by Aria for
their part of the equation....

Konfabulator 2.0
Konfabulator 2.0
06/22/2005 01:58 AMBefore there was Dashboard, there was Konfabulator. While Apple was
working on bringing Dashboard to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), Konfabulator
was getting ready for Windows. Ars Technica reviews Konfabulator 2.0
for Windows.
Konfabulator manages little programs called "widgets"
that do little tasks that you probably perform frequently and should
be all but completely automated. For example, think about what's
needed to check the weather report online. You could fire up a web
browser, navigate to your favorite site, punch in your ZIP code... You
could also get a little system tray app that continuously polls a
weather service. This is an improvement, but it takes up prime real
estate on your screen. Instead, you can use the Konfabulator weather
widget. It provides a small graphical display of the weather for the
next few days.
Konfabulator still runs on Mac OS X, but this review looks at the
Windows version. If you are a Windows user who has been wondering what
all the fuss over Dashboard is about, now's the chance to see for
yourself.

12/24/2004 12:41 PM What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is
that it takes full advantage of today's advanced graphics. This allows
Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of
traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these
little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.

The Konfabulator Controversy
The Konfabulator Controversy
06/30/2004 10:45 PMinessential.com:
Weblog: What should Apple do?: There's a bit of a controversy
brewing in Macland about the WWDC
conference and the Konfabulator knockoff Apple
introduced called Dashboard.
The theory is that Apple saw a great third-party app that people
loved, and decided it needed to be part of the OS itself.
Apple can’t do everything — they need other
developers to make software for OS X too. What concerns me is the
message the Dashboard thing sends. It goes like this, "If you come up
with a good idea and develop a successful product, we might copy it
and bundle it for free with the OS."
The Konfabulator folks, for their part, are having some fun with
it, poking fun of the posters that poked fun at Microsoft with a
banner on
their site that says, "Cupertino [where Apple is based], start your
photocopiers!"
Konfabulator was apparently written by some ex-Apple employes, and
they had this to say:
Regarding the conspiracy theory about Konsposé and prior
knowledge of Dashboard, here's the scoop. We knew Dashboard was
coming, and we'd been told by *many* people that it was being
developed as a "Konfabulator Killer". We never knew the specifics of
it other than it was rumored to be the exact same thing as
Konfabulator integrated at the system level. We didn't know that it
was going to be touted as part of Exposé, and we didn't know that
their format was going to be closer to a web page than a structured
XML file.
The threat of having the OS subsume your original work is a threat
Windows developers have lived with for years. I've always wondered
what happened to WinZip and PKZip sales
when Windows XP was introduced with integrated zip
functionality.

MacGamer Konfabulator Review
03/19/2003 10:25 PMPat Miller: "Opening the Konfabulator application at first
produces no blatantly visible change to your computer - all it does is
add a little menu to your menu bar. Rather, Konfabulator is a
JavaScript runtime that lets you run all sorts of neat little
mini-apps, called "Widgets", by plugging them into
Konfabulator. It's kind of like how ye olde Desk Accessories (does
anyone actually remember those) of yore should have been."

06/29/2004 04:25 AMNo real surprise that Apple pulled a Microsoft stunt in making an
announcement that will probably cause a competitor to go belly up. You
will have to check out the Konfabulator website. After you do that
then you have to take a look at the posters Apple had hung up that suggested
Microsoft would be chasing Apple. Seems Apple is chasing Konfabulator.
Bunch of hypocrites if you ask me.
