This is pretty funny. At a previous place of employment we were trying |
| 7 |
to crack down on web usage. One of the sites that seemed to get the |
| 8 |
most hits was weatherbug.com. We discovered that there were so many |
| 9 |
users with this "stupid" application on their desktop that told them the |
| 10 |
weather, but collectively everyone's little weatherbug applet was |
| 11 |
hitting the web like a zillion times per minute**. We tried to get |
| 12 |
people do stop using the app. "Look out the fscking window" wasn't |
| 13 |
working. People seemed to be hooked on the app like it was crack or |
| 14 |
something. So as an alternative, we ended up banning access to |
| 15 |
weatherbug.com. |

|

So now that weatherbug is available for Linux it seems that they are |
| 18 |
easing ever more closer to world domination LOL. |
