Amnesty Generator Extends Web Widget Space To Apple's Dashboard

Washington, DC – January 17, 2007 – Mesa Dynamics announced today 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: games, gadgets and embeddable video. Because web widgets are deployed on personal web pages, they are packaged in HTML code snippets designed for use in blogs, homepages and social networking profile pages. Amnesty Generator converts this web widget code directly into Dashboard widgets, allowing the web content to run natively in OS X without the need for a hosted page.

Industry watchers have already named 2007 "the year of the widget," predicting tremendous growth in the web widget space as companies race to design content for "personalizing life online." Amnesty Generator lets users move widgets off the web and into Apple's Dashboard, a first step towards unifying this new and expansive web content with a sophisticated desktop widget environment.

In order to simplify the conversion process, Amnesty Generator 1.0 includes an "Autofill" feature and detailed instructions supporting widgets from over 30 web sites including Google Gadgets, PicGames and YouTube.

Amnesty Generator 1.0 is a "Universal" application, requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and is available today at http://amnesty.mesadynamics.com .
