After having a short beta release, my Neowin Dashboard Widget is complete enough to be relased on a larger scale so here it is.

There are 2 known bugs/issues:

1. If you click another feed before the "Loading" message goes away it will never stop saying Loading. You will have to close the widget and open it again to make it go away.

2. The Forum feed is spaced apart more than the others, but that is a problem with the actual feed itself and not the widget.

Click Here to download.

Thanks to Timan for his mockup.

Clicking the Neowin logo in the upper left of the widget will take you to Neowin.net.

Update: Here's another widget to match the main one.

NeowinCAST

That looks absolutley amazing +StevoFC. Are you planning on developing a gadget for Windows Vista's 'Windows Sidebar' at all? I would love it if you were considering that. Obviously though that one is currently too big for the Windows Sidebar, but I'm sure you'd figure it out lol.

On another note, please may you tell me where you and other staff and +Subscribers got the new signature badges please?

I can't find them anywhere :s

Amazing!

Submit that to Apple for inclusion on http://www.apple.com/downloads/

I personally won't be making a Vista Gadget because I don't use Vista. But, another MVC said that he might give it a go if he has some free time. But I can't promise anything.

@ Cara: I did submit it last night, and I have to tell you it's really annoying the way they have the submission page set up. It locks the Company Name in to whatever you have set in your profile. So it's going to say StevoFC.com for the Company but link to neowin.net. I don't understand why they have it set like that.

But anyways, who knows if/when it will be added to their list of downoads.

Thanks so far for the positive feedback. (Y)

Not sure if this is possible, but for me at least, I only really read the Mac Forums here. Could you add a means to add just specific forum RSS feeds (so I can have just the Mac forums in the widget)? Maybe there's another way, but some food for thought...

Thanks for your work in creating it. :)

There's is only 1 Apple feed defined "Apple General Discussion." I can look in to making the widget more customizable. But I'm not sure what I will come up with.

I Wish you would make one for windows vista i would use it :(

If someone wants to buy me Vista to install on my iMac then sure, I'd give it a shot. I have never tried making anything like that for Vista before though. So I'm not even sure if I would be able to.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys. (Y)

I finally got around to installing it and it's just great. However, I do have one point of critique. The forum RSS feed has a lot of space between each topic. Could this be resolved?

That is mentioned in the original post. ;)

I'm trying to come up with a solution, but I'm not sure if it's possible due to the feed itself. Because there is only 1 css file that has to work with all feeds. If i make one that spaces the forum threads correctly then the others don't show correctly.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
