Longhorn vs Tiger

Haha rivalry…lov’n it ;) “Jim Allchin, Windows platform Vice President at Microsoft, said Longhorn is a much weightier project than Tiger, which he described as ‘a peripheral to the iPod.’” Oh and also this: “Allchin also said that some of Apple's ideas such as Dashboard were inspired by early demos of Longhorn.” http://www.macminute.com/2005/04/25/tiger/ So who really invented the Konfabulator idea??

Konfabulator for ALL!

Very very cool..http://www.konfabulator.com/ Works with windows and mac..As for Apple's dashboard?http://www.macworld.com/news/2004/06/29/konfabulator/index.php"If this is what they do with the products they think are the best, then whywould anyone have any reason to develop more cool stuff? I certainly don't" (Arlo Rose, the developer of Konfabulator) I wouldn't be happy either.

SQL Server diagrams

SQL Server diagrams help visualise your database schema, but copying them seems to be a little tricky. Here is an article on MSDN that will help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q320125

JGoodies or SWT

An alternative to SWT? I have no idea, haven’t tried it yet. https://jgoodies.dev.java.net/ JGoodies provides cross-platform JGoodies-Forms and JGoodies-Looks, from the screenshots they look pretty good.When I get Nib4J working I’ll be giving them more of a look.
