Yahoo Aquires Konfabulator
I'm somewhat shocked by this...I guess I shouldn't be though.

Hoping to pave a new path to its popular Web site, Yahoo Inc. has acquired Konfabulator, a tiny software maker that provides a computer platform for monitoring the weather, stock prices and a wealth of other customized information without opening a Web browser.The deal, finalized late last week for an undisclosed price, gives Yahoo access to a toolbox of mini-applications -- known as widgets -- that have built a cult following since Palo Alto-based Konfabulator first introduced them for Apple Computer Inc.'s Macintosh in 2002.
I wonder what Google has under its sleeve... It's actually interesting to see these to search engines battling it out.
