James “MacManX” Huff of MacMerc.com and Über Moderator of the MacMerc.com Forums managed to get my little Allan Smithee / Dashboard observation Slashdotted. News in the Mac world has been kinda slow lately so I’m very pleased to have one of our unique stories highlighted. Thanks James–you rock!
PS: I take a certain joy in watching people react to this story. Many think I’m saying “Dashboard is stolen from Konfabulator” when in truth I never mentioned Konfabulator at all. I only added the web survey after the comments ignited in debate over who was first or what terminology is attributed to which technology. All I was really doing was making an observation and giving a little background on the meaning that name implies. Funny how people can fuel their own arguments.
