Topic: Limitations on how many items widgets retrieve, and refresh cycles

I note that the flickr widget seems to retrieve between 20-25 photos.  The craigslist widget tops out at 25-30 posts.  The Google News widget retrieves 20.  Flickr and craigslist widgets are both scraping large datasets. Can I customize them to scrape and display more items?  Repetition of just a few items rapidly gets stale.

A related question: how often do the widgets pull new content?  I ran flickr and Google News overnight and was seeing the same items in the morning.  Am I missing a setting here?

The same question would be true for the email notifier.  How often does it check and refresh? 

Many thanks!
