I'm going to guess you're home-schooled, both because of your defensiveness and because of your lack of analytical skills (as opposed to memorization).

There are a lot of problems with your screed but the most obvious, of course, is that for all you know everything you cite is worse among those who were home-schooled compared to those who weren't. Nobody said sending your kid to school results in a perfectly polite human... because that would be idiotic. They made a comparison between two subject groups, which you did not address.

Except that you skipped the part where he gave an example of another app that hit that niche before Konfabulator, if that's the way you want to break it down.

In a larger sense, however, that's just silly. These are all the same, differing in their implementation details. None of those implementation details are innovative, all of them, especially Konfab/Dashboard/etc, were drop-dead obvious (which is why they were done by so many people and teams in a similar time frame). They're simply a refactoring of the "applet" with the tools that current programmers use, as always happens.

Obviously, Apple did not "invent" dashboard. To say that Konfabulator was something new is both literally wrong (as you ignored in that article, others did the XML/scripting thing first), and conceptually silly.
