MacKiev offers "3D Weather Globe and Atlas"

MacKiev has released its 3D Weather Globe and Atlas, which provides "weather on your desktop" with realtime cloud cover, temperature and seven-day forecasts. The $40 application uses highest resolution NASA satellite maps, letting users locate cities, plot travel routes, time zones, country borders, night/day line, and more. The maps used are "the highest resolution maps ever made of the entire planet -- one pixel to a kilometer -- made from NASA satellite photos." Current weather conditions and a seven day forecast are provided for 10,000 cites around the world.

I saw this demonstrated at MacWorld. The OpenGL implementation is super cool. To quote Mr. Jobs, the 3D motion graphics are "Lickable".
