From the Widget Rights Resource Center:
Widget rights are those basic standards without which widgets cannot live in dignity. To violate widget rights is to treat that widget as though it’s not a widget being. To advocate widget rights is to demand that the widget dignity of all widgets be respected.
The Dashboard is nothing else as a prison for widgets, mostly for widgets that did nothing wrong. For only $19.95, Amnesty, an application for OS X, removes those boundaries on your Mac forever (30 days for free)! Some comments from recently freed widgets:
“A whole new world opened for me after I was released from my prison. For the first time I’ve seen the desktop in all its clarity. It was such a beautiful experience to explore all the new possibilities out there in the free world. I was able to scale myself, to rotate myself … I was even able to make me transparent. I really love the free world and hope that all my other widget friends get released as well.”
“I was not only free, I was for the first time able to group-up with other like-minded widgets, to move with them through the new world and experience all the other cool things out there. I’ve even seen a completely different species of widgets out there, Konfabulator widgets. However, they didn’t seem to be very happy right now, they told me something about a company called Yahoo and how they didn’t treat them right.”
Amnesty even works for OS X 10.3 and there’s a free Amnesty Screen Saver, pretty cool if you ask me.
