I've put together a little bookmarklet that lets you use OSM maps on Google maps and Multimap API implementations (and in fact multimap.com). In fact I updated it today and have a new blog post about it here.
It can be really useful when you find a site that has useful data but you want to see that data overlaid on OSM maps. On Multimap's site you can also see routes and lots of other POIs overlaid on the OSM maps too.
Michael Crichton is hard at work on his next book..... a Tornadoe gets out of a ultra-secret lab and a scientist, a child, and a surprisingly militarily trained caretaker have to track it down and stop it.
I'm guessing the original poster meant that you used to be able to specify the IP addresses of other machines running iTunes, but now you have to use the likes of RendezVous Proxy.
While only answering one part of your problem, I've always been impressed with the data retrieved by MythWeather. Perhaps you could put that on one Workspace then use what I'll mention below.
A few people have mentioned using, say, gDesklets and placing a number around the screen. Could you perhaps put one large one on each of a number of workspaces then work out some simple little program that would tell the window manager to flick workspaces every 5 minutes or something?
(For the record I don't remember if "Workspace" is the correct word these days. Virtual Desktop would be another word...)

Yep, new in version 8

Which part of "too slow to run X" do you not understand?
