Maybe it's because I've had an hour's sleep that this is cool to me, but I have been looking for a desktop weather thing that actually just stayed on my desktop seamlessly.

Yahoo Widgets. It's free (for now, at least). You can put little things on your desktop itself like stock quotes, weather, clock, calendar, stickie notes, etc. Little utilities that I know some people enjoy. And so far as I've been using it, no popups or ads, which is a good feature to me.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Ithink this is way cool!!!!!!!!!!!! Something to do tonight...hang out in the oar house and surf the widget gallery!

VERY cool. Thanks for the link!

Yahoo has been messing up for me for a while, I want it to do what it is doing for me now to be right before I add anymore..




Thanks, it all looks cool !!!!

yah its cool, but Yahoo stole this from Apple so it might not be around long. Or at least called that....

I've heard of something called weatherbug, but that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Widgets, Been there done that. For Mac users, Apple Widgets have always been free, work seemlessly, and do what they say they do. Ads???? Pop ups???? Get real, not with Mac Widgets.

Did anyone have trouble installing it? I keep getting a message I need to run with an administrator account, and I am the administrator.

Actually, I have weatherbug and have always liked it. Weatherbug (and most any of the other 'desktop weather' progs basically minimize to the tray bar with the temperature and then you double click on it to bring it back up.

Did you all see that they have a KEY WEST cam, showing about 7 sites?

I just saw that one this morning.

There's also a hula dancer for your desktop

I use ForecastFox with my firefox browser for my weather needs. No need to install any software that can goof up your machine (like WeatherBug has been known to do) and no annoying ads.

Weatherbug brings along a couple of spyware/adware programs with it, so beware!

Running a couple of spyware cleaners after installation takes care of them though.

Good to see others are using Firefox verses IE.

Weather Pulse, is a great program. No spyware, it's free, and you get all kinds of features. Weather maps, animated weather radar, hourly forecasts, alerts.

For the LOST fans here's a pretty good one,
