This is pretty impressive, i wonder what the update interval and source is. http://www.mapbox.com/labs/forecast/temperature/ I really like the interface, even the zoom buttons could be removed or hidden as you can scrool-zoom. Make the temperature in Celsius please! EDIT: There seem to be a problem with the algorithms, the largest zoom displays colder temperatures( look at the temperature map ). Largest zoom, http://…

The color palette adjusts based on the zoom level in order to improve contrast. Roughly a bazillion people pointed out that it's "broken", so I guess that was a dumb call on my part!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Even if normalized for people that actually have Internet access? Honest question.

The IE6 share is going to be higher when normalized for people with Internet access, so the comparison is going to hold by a wider margin.

Doh. You're right. Not sure what I was think at that moment :)
