Weather problems updated again

Today, Watson got another update to the Weather tool, in order to deal with problems viewing doppler radar in many parts of the U.S.

Unfortunately, I am noticing a lot of database connectivity problems when I try and access weather.gov. It's very intermittent. Perhaps it's because of this PC worm going around -- a lot of their servers seem to be running on PCs. All I can suggest for users is that they choose their location from the Settings drawer again if the first load doesn't work.

Also updated was the eBay tool, to catch up with a change in formatting that hid the prices from Watson.

Hopefully nothing major crops up next week with Watson while I'm on vacation! :-)
