IBM has purchased The Weather Company, most well known for The Weather Channel.
"Weather Company CEO David Kenney said it has “billions of data points from sensors” — in fact, three billion weather forecast reference points, as well as weather data from more than 40 million smartphones and 50,000 daily airplane flights. All this will be a perfect data set to run through Watson and IBM’s cloud computing prowess to mine for new insights on weather patterns that impact our daily lives."
