Integrate weather applet with new weather radar system at weather.com

[Justin Sunseri]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

for the next release of ubuntu/gnome i would like to see if they could switch the weather applet over from the current jpg radar picture at weather.com to the new one which is basically Microsoft Virtual Earth overlayed with radar information.

Yeah i can see it's based on flash but its too cool and exciting. It's been a while since the weather got some love and this is sexy.

Thank you for your bug. Looks like an upstream request, we don't have the ressource to work on it, closing the Ubuntu task
