How is the information in the widgets updated?
Each widget is unique, but, in general, the information in the widgets is updated automatically in the background when you are connected to the Internet. For example, the Yahoo! Weather widget automatically downloads weather details on a consistent basis, so that each time you glance at the widget it will display the most current information. While many widgets require that you be connected to the Internet at all times, some will work even if you don’t have an Internet connection.
