Find helpful reviews, opinions, and ratings about WeatherBug Lite for Mac from actual users.

I'm not going to spend my time arguing its definition and instead fall back on my own personal definition of a bad application: if an application behaves in a way contrary to its clearly defined purpose or if it otherwise modifies the standard, expected behavior of the operating system or installed softwares, then it's a bad application.

Fortunately, the programmers of Weatherbug for Mac OS X have not appeared to include any type of ad-serving, redirecting, or pop-up-serving components. I've installed it on my system and after a few hours of browsing, it has not attempted to contact any service other than the weather-synching service operated by the company.

Here are some basic steps to changing your default browser on a Mac 1) Run Safari browser 2) From the “Safari” menu, select “Preferences” (Apple Key-comma) 3) Select the tab at the top labeled “General” 4) The first item at the top says: “Default Web Browser” Hopefully this is showing IE5 right nowor Internet Explorer 5) Change this to be Safari (that’s what I recommend) or Firefox.

6) Close the preferences tab 7) Go to WeatherBug and click on the temperature and select the forecast menuSafari or Firefox should be used as your default browser. Hope that works.
