Re: Weather.com is still good!
Well, the thing is, we don't expect that loophole to last long. The more people who use it, the higher the likelihood that Weather.com will notice the activity and take it away, just like before.
Either way, AccuWeather is a superior option, if only because we now have an aboveboard arrangement with them for the use of their feed. As long as everyone abides by their terms of service - which are reasonable, I think, if annoying - we can expect this to be a stable solution.

Heh, it's alright. I would have preferred to stick with Weather.com, if it were slightly more ethical. At the end of the day, this is just a better option. :)
