Can the bitcoin client window be used for other purposes, such as displaying content? lets say local weather?

Yes, it can. As paid service, however:

- use vanitygen to generate your own 1Rain, 1Sunny, 1Snow, 1Tornado etc. BTC addresses
- import these into Bitcoin Core using importprivkey and fund them
- form a transaction from all these vanity addresses to my 1WeathrState subscription address
- then, each day my system will send you 1 mBTC to one of your vanity weather addresses
- thus, you can see incoming transaction indicating the weather for your location right directly in your client!
- I collect just moderate 5% fee for this wonderfull service

No need for vanity addresses as he can just create some receiving addresses and put proper labels on them; Sunny, Snow, Volcanic Eruption, Northern Lights, Zombie Outbreak etc.
