I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking Google finally broke the connection, since the app hasn't been available on the Play Store for a while.

The weather part of the widget still isn't working, though. I put in my location both by name and Zip code, and it says it can't find a matching location.
but how do I download it? If I try to go to the site via the browser, it was not found on the server. I can't believe that ICS removed the news app - everyone uses devices for news now-a-days.
Here's the link I just went to to get the News and Weather app, and it exactly the one we all knew from Gingerbread:

Thanks for sharing this... Finally! Been trying to add custom topics without any luck for a long time. Until now.
Only thing I would add... Is this, The GenieWidget.apk would not install because it kept saying "there is already a... with the Same Name..." What I had to do was go in and remove the old (News & Weather) from the system. I used "System Tuner" (Super User App-available on the Play market for free) went to "System" setting tab, then The "System Apps" setting and found the News & Weather app and DELETED the old one... Plus, I had to do a Re-Boot before it would let me install it. Then it finally worked!!! I was able to create Custom Topics. (i.e. Android and CyanogenMod) Which is something I was not able to do until now.
So thanks to CharlieL3 & JNeum for sharing this.

I am running ICS 4.0.4 Tenderloin Nightly (July 13, 2012) on an HP Touchpad.
Hello, thank you for sharing, do you have to be root to install it??
