Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

Dashboard. A plain, simple and blatant ripoff of Konfabulator
That's just stupid. Konfabulator was nothing majorly new, it wasn't innovating. The only thing new about is, was they used Javascript for their applets/widgets/gadgets/mini-apps. Neither Dashboard or Konfabulator are revolutionary, but a nice evolution. Most other osses are planning to integrate them one way or another (the sidebar of longhorn), or already have (epplets in enlightenment, gdesklets in gnome, gkrellm in any wm).
I can understand why you hate Apple. After all, they went for NeXT instead of BeOS, which did cost your job, and probably hurt your ego as an engineer. But please, try to remain a little bit professional.
