Temperature in France
I was reading through OS X Hacks and fell upon a cool hack: five lines of Perl to call a remote SOAP service, and a little applescript for it to respond to voice commands and answer by telling you the temperature outside.
Unfortunately, it's US centric and only takes US zipcodes

I don't know if it supports a SOAP interface yet, but the JFGOAL (Just Fscking Go Outside And Look) protocol is both stable and globally ubiquitous.

Montréal is not in France, even though most of the residents think it is. :-)
