Sounds Swedish. My mother always joked about the way her grandmother (from Sweden) called the Disney character Yimminy Cricket.

Of course if Microsoft included a something similar into their operating system, everybody and their mother would be bitching about monopolistic powers. Apple integrates this widget thing into their OS, so Konfabulator probably had little choice but to sell to the highest bidder. So instead of saying anything negative about Apple, the Konfabulator are now called sell-outs. Amazing ain't it.

no shit...

Microsoft gets bashed out the monopoly BS every other minute (even when they are not a true monopoly) yet when any other company does something similar..... nothing.
