No.  I just tried enabling it, and it said "unable to create virtual
memory".

no updates available.

Since I mostly use it to read books, I prefer not to connect
automatically, so that the battery usage is lower.  Or does the
automatic refresh only happen automatically when you connect manually?

As far as I know, not.  It's not telling me the weather or anything
like that.  I did manage to get the time set when my watch needed a
new battery, but that's not a the kind of applet you mean, is it?

I missed "The West Wing" every day and the people I worked with.  And
I missed putting on a show every week.  What I didn't miss was the
feeling of constantly having a term paper due.
