Mac fans may finally start seeing some real output from Yahoo as they have made another acquisition in Konfabulator. While the Widgets work cross platform, this is clearly an indication that apps mean something to the search and ad giant.

He talks about Bio-Informatics, and a week ago got the lowdown on Verseon, a very hot, off the radar play that’s been quietly (well not … Read more
