Why do so many weather widgets show you the current weather? In what circumstances is it easier to use an app of any kind or look at the top of a web page than to look up from the computer or phone?

Office Hours
As an experiment, I'm holding open office hours, Fridays between 10-11am PST. If you use google calendar, you can sign up directly. Let me know if you want to meet in person (in Vancouver), on Skype ('davidascher'), or in some other medium. You can also email me (firstInitialLastName at mozilla dot com), or tweet at me
