Widgets offer a quick and easy method for getting information and launching apps. Here's how to set them up for maximum benefit.

I had a wonderful couple of weeks in Turin, which is this charged-up industrial town. The distributor took me every night to dinner at this place where there were only eight tables and no menu. You’d just tell them what you wanted, and they made it. One of the tables was on reserve for the chairman of Fiat. It was really super.
