Ditchnet.org: With an open-source JavaScript interpreter (Rhino) available, it should be fairly straight-forward to embed the interpreter in a JSP Taglib, drop a java.awt.Graphics2D object into the JavaScript runtime as a global variable, execute the tag’s JavaScript code body as methods of the graphics object, and then write the resulting image out to the web app’s root directory where it can be accessed from a normal HTML <img> tag!

  ronincyberpunk.com: It mimics that Mac sidebar with expanding and contracting icons and I use it as my handy quicklink bar. Next is the newly Yahoo purchased, Konfabulator which lets Windows users have desktop Widgets. (via Cosmos)

Preoccupations: When you think about Yahoo's search mission as an organizing principle, a lot of what Yahoo is doing - 360, MyWeb, Y!Q, the purchase of Flickr - start(s) to fall into place ”¦ (they're) using search to fuse a myriad of services and applications, all of which center on knowledge and its application. As Jeff pointed out to me, at the center of the idea of FUSE is what's happening to media - how every single medium - music, TV, print, telecom, even our first versions of the web - is being remixed and reordered by Web 2.0.

[Boar's Head Tavern] Gothard Question: Not all the Mac widgets are available, but its the way coolest thing for a very busy and interactive desktop. (Wish they had a wiki program, but I'm running wikipad instead, and its good.)

[CORE] Konfabulator now free: Just a little heads up Konfabulator, the nifty little desktop javascript applet engine which was the daddy of the MacOSX Dashboard is now free after having being bought by Yahoo recently.

 [Monster Software] First Look: Windows Vista Beta / Intel's Server CPU Roadmap: has acquired Konfabulator, a tiny software maker that provides a computer platform... with Canada and Mexico will get an RFID tag to place on their dashboard to track them on the return trip.

[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): Now that I've been playing with Konfabulator for a week, I'm no longer using Dashboard and Tiger's widgets at all. There are only two Konfabulator widgets that I have running continuously, and if I ever go to do some memory and processor-intensive task on my Powerbook, like video editing and after effects, I can simply close Konfabulator, with no worry of it causing any problems.

 [Daringfireball.net] Daring Fireball: Dashboard vs. Konfabulator: This, in fact, is the single biggest difference between Dashboardgadgets and the aforementioned desk accessories in the original MacOS. Because of the tight memory constraints of the original Mac(only 128 KB of RAM, and 400 KB of disk space per floppy), deskaccessories needed to be as small and lightweight as possible.Which meant that they were mostly written in 68000 assembler code.

 [Digg.com] Konfabulator vs Dashboard: The other argument, that the Mac had desktop accessories twenty years ago and the idea therefore precedes Konfab, calls on us to believe that Apple went back 15 years to some long-forgotten feature and decided to update it all on its own and that it's just a COINCIDENCE that this happened just a year after the success of Konfabulator and that both developers just HAPPENED to call them "WIDGETS." It's really the name "widgets" that belies the ridiculousness of that claim. Had they been based on Desktop Accessories, Apple could have named them anything they wanted.
