g Fireball narration of Konfabulator vs.
Dashboard. The shared concept, of course, dates back to the classic
Mac OS “desk accessories” and even terminate-and-stay-resident apps for

still sucks to be Arlo Rose,
but then again, how long should any of us expect to have
exclusive rights to a good idea?
