Washington | I've used WeatherBug for a long time now. I paid the 20 bucks for the Pro version and it's been well worth it. Even when it was free I never had pop-up ads. Maybe it was just a bad idea they tried and then got rid of because of complaints.

Kweather is the bastard child of Satan, thus Karamba ensues.
I give wmweather props though. Nice Window Maker add in.
For our OS X cousins, Weather Grok, WeatherPOP, Meteorologist (which is totally free), or WeatherManX.

| My 2¢ OK
First off if you are not going outside, you don't need to know what it is doing unless
A.Tornado,Hurricane,Blizzard.
B.End of the World.
In which of those cases more often that not you would not be using a computer.
If that is not a good enough reason, get up from your desk and go OUTSIDE!
Weather Channel does a good job without having to download software, just put your zip code in, go to the page and bookmark it. Like magic every time you click that bookmark it will take you to the same page with your zip code already in and your forecast there for you, free of charge. Or you can try N.O.A.A. if you want, less commercial adverts. But it is my feeling that you do not need to install some software in order to get weather.
If its that important, maybe you should add the weather channel home page as webpage desktop, then you can be within 3 clicks of advertising.

Detroit, MI | Old fashined way to tell the weather. You don't need t.v., radio, or internet to tell the weather. All you need is a rope. Tie one end of the rope to a tree branch and let the other end hang down.
Dry rope = No rain
Wet rope = Rain
Frozen rope = Snow and/or ice
Slanted rope = Wind (To figure out direction of the wind, take note of the direction of the slant)
Upside down rope = Get your a** into the basement | |

| I think the writer of the article was referring to internet connectivity over the past 5-6 years. More people are getting on broadband, less and less are on dial-up. You didn't have streaming videos or high-res screenshots that updated constantly. Now that more people are on broadband (and have more bandwidth available to them) they can see the streaming vids and the high-res shots.

Harrisville, RI | The Ups and Downs I run the free version of the weather bug and I have no spyware. I also get weather alerts if something in going on in my area at no charge. So I am very happy with it. I also dont get any nasty pop up ads either. But I will be fair and try at least one other package. But the best way to see what the weather is in your area.....
STICK YOUR HEAD OUT THE WINDOW AND LOOK UP AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR AREA.....
And if the neighbors cow just happens to fly by.... Stick you head between your knees and kiss your a??? goodbye

| Another App You May Wish To Try I found this little app over at Intellicast. It puts a rather tiny weather radar image on your desktop. It runs out of the systray and has a small number of cities to check on. It's useful to me because I need to know if I have to pack spare dry clothes for my ride into work.
My only complaint with it is that the image is very small. Only other complaint is that for some reason it no longer works on my other computer (Win98) for some reason. Haven't yet bothered to track down why.

| For Macs... I like Meteorologist. Simple menubar that expands when you fiddle with it. Freeware, no spyware, nagware, ads, etc.
WeatherPop is similar, but is shareware. Both are nice and simple and don't clutter things up too much. | |

| Storm Lab I've been using Storm Lab & Interwarn www.interwarn.com
for several months. Pricey, yeah, but boy does it work!
I leave interwarn running all the time......dosen't matter what I'm doing, if some weather watch pops up, I know about it, and then I launch storm lab to track the storms (hobby).Living in the middle of tornado alley, ya need to keep informed, especially after the outbreak of F2,F3, and F4 tornados we had on May 4th. | |
