Local weather overlaying your screen as it happens. Note that the flakes/drops don't bounce when they hit the screen edge, so you can take your claim for a billion dollars and [removed by moderator]!

It's like looking out our window! been snowing he re for weeks

Oh, almost forgot. It's implemented through our Drawing Realtime Overlay Processorâ„¢ component. So anyone using the words drip and/or drop (including plurals) without acknowledging our significant intellectual property and simply huge investment in R&D will be hearing from our lawyers!

It's intended that our licensing policy on this will be very liberal, so every company who is not a US megacorp will be granted a free licence. Google can have one too as they are such nice guys. Microsoft will be able to use the technology, as they've hit hard times and Steve Balmer is now wondering where the next luxury yacht marina is coming from. BUT we have to draw the line somewhere, so - without mentioning any names - fruit and nut marketing companies who make ludicrous IP claims, produce grossly overpriced products, and consistently claim other people's ideas as their own whilst actually spending a miserly proportion of their revenues on R&D, need not App-lie.
