Amnesty Generator ships
Mesa Dynamics today announced the official release of Amnesty Generator 1.0, a free utility for Mac OS X that converts Web widgets, gadgets, badges and videos into Dashboard widgets. Like their desktop widget counterparts, Web widgets are mini-applications, such as games, gadgets and embeddable video--packaged in HTML code snippets designed for use in blogs, homepages and social networking profile pages. Mesa's Amnesty Generator converts Web widget code directly into Dashboard widgets, allowing the web content to run natively in Mac OS X without the need for a hosted page. In order to simplify the conversion process, Amnesty Generator 1.0 includes an “Autofill” feature and detailed instructions supporting widgets from over 30 websites including Google Gadgets, PicGames and YouTube. Amnesty Generator 1.0 is a “Universal” application that requires Mac OS X 10.3.9.
