New Konfabulator Weather Widget: WTF?

konfabulator.jpgIf, on the heels of the announcement of Yahoo!’s acquisition of Konfabulator, you might be tempted to upgrade to the latest 2.1 version, which is free and won’t nag you with constant reminders about how great it is to be a registered, paying user, take care!

They upgraded the Weather widget which now uses Yahoo! Weather as its source, instead of AccuWeather.com. The problem with that is that the new widget covers much fewer locations (my hometown is not there, for instance) and won’t give forecasts. What’s the point of a weather widget that doesn’t show forecasts? Fortunately, you can still copy the widget from version 2.0 into the new ~/Documents/Widgets folder and it will still work.

Oh, by the way, I have been a registered customer for more than one year. Konfabulator was well worth its price then and much more so now that it’s free. Dashboard? Who needs Dashboard?

    Is there any kick-back for having been a paid-up customer?

    Only if you’ve bought Konfabulator in the past two months, AFAIU.
