	Apple - Remote Desktop 3

		Apple Remote Desktop 3, the award-winning desktop management system for Mac OS X has more than 50 new features that deliver improvements in software distribution, asset management, and remote assistance.
		Apple Remote Desktop 3 is a Universal application, which means it runs natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Mac computers.

		Apple has already run several Dashboard widget-building contests, and third party widget collections began to pop up months before Tiger was released.
		When Dashboard is activated, the screen dims and the active Dashboard widgets swoop in from all sides of the screen.
		The Dashboard interface itself is pretty wacky: the widget drawer that seems hidden "under the screen," the weird, twisty "x" button, the strange animations...it's all very odd.

	Dashboard - Applepedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Dashboard is Tiger's implementation of desktop "widgets" -- small objects that sit on their own desktop layer (toggled by pressing F12) and perform simple functions.
		The Dashboard's rendering area and the parent process for widgets' DashboardClient processes is the Dock.
		Since the Dashboard's appear and dismiss effects are done similarly to Exposé, you can use shift to slow them down.

	Daring Fireball: Dashboard vs. Konfabulator
		The argument that Apple had “ripped off” Proteron more or less hinged in the idea that the visual resemblance between the new built-in Panther switcher and Liteswitch X couldn’t be a coincidence.
		The idea, repeated ad nauseam in the initial reaction to Dashboard, is that Apple should have done the “right thing”, where “right thing” means “bought the rights to Konfabulator instead of implementing Dashboard on their own”.
		Apple bought the rights, hired the development team (lead developer Jeffrey Robbin is now a serious big shot at Apple, helping lead all of Apple’s various music-related initiatives).

	Dashboard (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dashboard is an application for Apple Computer's Mac OS X 10.4 operating system, "Tiger," used for hosting mini-applications known as widgets.
		Although Konfabulator was released before Dashboard, Dashboard is alleged to be based on Apple’s Desk Accessories [1], first released in 1984 with the original Macintosh.
		Another option for widgets on the desktop is to use the shareware utility Amnesty Widget Browser, a dashboard emulator that also allows the user to select which level (desktop, standard or floating) a widget occupies while it resides on the desktop.

	MacDevCenter.com -- Build a Dashboard Widget
		According to Apple, Tiger adds over 200 new features to Mac OS X. While some of these features are simple upgrades or underlying fixes that are nearly invisible to users, one feature that users and developers alike have been looking forward to for months is Dashboard.
		Apple's widgets, and the widgets in the this and the next article, only touch the surface of the types of applications a clever developer can create.
		Apple's Dashboard environment strips the toolbars, default size, and background color from the browser and puts each widget in its own sandbox so they cannot interfere with each other.

	MyMac.com: publishing since 1995
		If Apple fixed things over time, I'd be easier on them; but things like the Dock, Expose, Finder, and Tiger in general proves that after 4 years and 4 revisions, they have no interest in fixing things that are broken; instead they're too busy marking the next new feature.
		Some think Dashboard is a rip-off of Konfabulator, but there are enough differences that even if the scope and functionality is very similar, the implementation is substantially different enough that Apple deserves the benefit of the doubt.
		Apple's lack of architecting is artificially limiting code to individual interface modes, and making users lives more difficult.

	Surfin' Safari
		Just to prove a point that there are many ways to think about this new feature, here's another take on what Dashboard is. From a browser geek's perspective, the Dashboard is a collection of HTML sidebar panels liberated from the browser window and placed anywhere on your screen.
		I'll be talking about both Dashboard and Safari RSS a lot more in depth (primarily from the perspective of all the new open source WebCore features that were added to support these two new features) once I've gotten some sleep.
		Apple's own web site says "build your own widgets using the JavaScript language", but that's sort of misleading.

		One of the problems with the Dashboard is that it does not refresh Widgets in the background.
		For Dashboard developers, there is a new project that is just starting up called Wcode.
		Dashboard Widgets are also meant to be single-serve, single-function utilities… applications often have many different tasks they perform and take more effort as well.

	DashboardWidgets
		Considering that the discovery of the program on Apple’s Developer Tools disc confirms that it is indeed an Apple application, it shouldn’t be long before Apple Legal unleashes their wrath upon the people who are hosting it.
		Maybe it wasn’t apple at all, it appears to be running the preview widgets with an internal dashboard, apple would use the real thing.
		I would assume that it’s easier to bundle a modified Dashboard application than it is to write a method of launching a widget outside of the Dashboard layer into the opperating system.

		One blogger reports observing Apple's Dashboard "phoning home" with the recent release of Mac OS X 10.4.7.
		Dashboard apparently checks with Apple.com's database to ensure Widgets installed are identical those available on Apple's website, presumably preventing the installation of a malicious Trojan or malware.
		Apple has not documented the new feature in detail, but included the following line in the Mac OS 10.4.7 release notes: "You can now verify whether or not a Dashboard widget you downloaded is the same version as a widget featured on (www.apple.com) before installing it."

		Though Dashboard won't be available until Tiger arrives, the company wants to jump-start development of the widgets that work with Dashboard.
		Apple is hoping that the prospect of creating widgets will appeal to more than just the usual crop of Apple developers, given that only standard Web site skills are needed.

	AppleInsider \| Apple filing depicts interactive Dashboard cube interface
		While the existing versions of Apple's Mac OS X operating system offers a single repository and graphical interface view for managing Dashboard widgets, Forstall's proposal would expand the concept to allow users to create and configure multiple Dashboards views to manage the increasing number of widgets available for download across the Internet.
		According to the filing, different Dashboards could contain one or more of the same widgets and "state" information for a widget could be maintained separately for each Dashboard in which the widget appears, or it can be commonly maintained across all Dashboards in which the widget appears.
		For example, Apple said, a cube can display a Dashboard or Dashboard icon or other selectable object associated with a Dashboard on the front-facing side of the cube.

		According to Apple, widgets are “mini-applications that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information.” The cool thing for web developers and designers is that widgets are at their heart just web pages, bundled in a specific way.
		Apple has been kind enough to post a “Hello World” widget on their Sample Dashboard Code page.
		According to Apple’s widget design guidelines, this image should be 85 x 85 pixels with the “content” of the image taking up 74 x 74 pixels, at most.

		I'm a lawyer (and I don't work for Apple) and disagree with your reading of the rules and your suggestion that a developer would be "stupid" to enter the contest and that the rules give Apple the right "to do anything" with the author's ip.
		Apple's use of the IP is limited to "reprint, display, reproduce, perform, and exhibit" the widget for advertizing and promotion of the contest and their technology.
