Apparently, Yahoo! stopped the free geocode servers. In order to setup a
location, the applet looks for Yahoo's WOEID for a particular location
from its servers at e.g.
http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?flags=J&location=London%2C+Englang%2C+United+Kingdom&appid=mOawLd4s
but this is no longer available - you have to use the BOSS server
http://developer.yahoo.com/boss/geo/ which limits to 2000 queries per
app per day.

It seems the weather server is still up for the moment, so if you get
the WOEID you can still look up Yahoo!'s weather stations - maybe there
are other ways of looking up WOEIDs or the app could just be changed to
use the new BOSS API (it needs to be re-registered though - the
appid=mOawLd4s doesn't work with BOSS).
