How many times have you had widgets what were stuck, or were just too slow to update the information?

Well there’s a little trick you can do that will simply refresh a widget if you need it to show you the updated weather, movie listing etc.

When you press F12 (Or on new Aluminum Keyboards F4) you’ll get to the Dashboard menu with all your nifty little widgets, (all sucking the life out of your RAM).

Once you are there, and you need to refresh one, all you need to do is press it once, and hit Command (apple logo) R and it will make a swirl effect and it is then updated with the latest info.

Yes it’s THAT easy.
