Okay, time to be a jerk.

If 3 to 25 knots is the range that you get the "green light" for sailing, do you really need a special program to let you know its a go?
Less than 3 is like dead calm.. nothing moving anywhere.. farts lingering, birds almost falling out of the sky, and more than 25 is frickin' windy, birds deciding not to fly.
They must have a really high tech sensor to determine those closely packed incremental "green light" ranges.
What were they thinking trying to compete with the always dead-on, ever-so-useful wind information available on Ikitesurf (and all the others too)?

Wait, I just read a little more about it. Seems the orb can be used for multiple information inputs and is an actual orb sitting right on your desk?

BRILLIANT. I need that at work (I will be back in a chair, somewhere, soon).
As the wind gets better, the ball heats up and starts to glow, so brightly that the WHOLE office can see it is windy as you attempt to either:
1) slowly and gently sneak out the back door or
2) Convince your boss that Wendy's combo #4 gave you food poisoning.

You may as well set your desk on fire with a letter attached that says "I am gone suckas... that's right FOOLS..I am kiting"
