I use Meteo for weather info. I do not believe it is available for Windows.

What's nice about it? Why do you recommend something on CSMA that isn't
available for Macs for any other reason than being an dumb-fuck asswipe
wintroll?

On another note, OSX's built-in weather widget is way better than WC
desktop weather. We also have Yahoo widgets and tons of menu bar weather
such as Weather Pop which isn't available for Windoze.

No, the weather channel has a dashboard widget for OS X that
works beautifully. Do you ever bother to actually check things
first?

I have my choice of 10 different weather-related dashboard
widgets, of which I use the aviation one for the nearby airport,
which gives me full METAR data, which is very useful, all only
an F12 away....

Now that is truly valuable advocacy. Apple stockholders are so

Actually, you seem to have copied it from others who do it more
often, and even more annoyingly.

Yes, the best, most important thing you will ever do is being a
dumb-fuck asswipe wintroll. Congrats. You are one of Zara's bitches. No
doubt your life dream.

AccuWeather client for Mac "Dashboard". Very nice product, but not
available on Windows.

Final Cut Pro, the best video editing solution in history works great on
my Mac. Too bad it is not available for my PC. I have to settle for
third rate solutions only.

I changed the subject line - and I agree. All I have to do is look out
the window to see the weather. :-D

In the mean time - the weather widget in Konfabulator (and presumably
dashboard as well) has been displaying the weather channel data for
years on years on any Mac.

Welcome to six years ago, Tom. :-D

Failing as a wintroll if what you do best? Makes sense.

Tom, go take a look at the Radar in Motion dashboard widget for
the mac.

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/information/radarinmotio
n.html

Then take a look at the Aviation Weather Widget:

We had weather on the Windows desktop at about the same time.

Macs have had some form of weather tool available for a number of years. So
did Windows. Get over it.

You barely have it now - especially not when compared to the Mac.
You're lagging so far behind in Windows that it's just sad.
