That is his job.
I personally love that feature. I don't have to check multiple windows if I want to track the storm. Thanks, Steve!

Yes, it is.
Stupid question. Is the News Robot actually automated? I just can't figure out how it's done to auto-post something...

Having no real technical knowledge as far as programming for a website goes, I would guess that it receives something like and RSS feed for types of news and then is set to post what it receives on that feed. But I could be wrong.

Number_6, that would make sense. I just can't really see another person busily typing away world & entertainment news....
