Hyatt on Dashboard

Dave Hyatt:

Just to prove a point that there are many ways to think about this new feature, here’s another take on what Dashboard is. From a browser geek’s perspective, the Dashboard is a collection of HTML sidebar panels liberated from the browser window and placed anywhere on your screen. The “Web pages as widgets” concept is really just a logical extension of the Web sidebar panel metaphor fused with Exposé.
