I had a look into the contents of the widget. (spotlight it, then "Show Package Contents") There's a script called parser.js that seems to be the thing responsible for pulling data off a special feed at apple.com: http://wu.apple.com/fq/applewidgets/forex.asp?key=tHisIsApplewidgeTs The format's an XML file. It seems like the feed was updated recently (5.44pm +8h as I write this at midni ght on Saturday) whilst the data on it seems to be from 2nd November. I'v submitted a bug report to Apple.
