I might have to disagree with you here, Mark!

I always turned off the Google Feed because its 'suggestions' always seemed like a way to keep me clicking on Google's links (and probably giving them more data and earnings at my expense) or offering uninteresting stories about the random stuff I search for in my work day. I do find the widgets really useful, particularly on the lockscreen.

What they should do on iPad is either bin it for the Stage Manager interface on a cold desktop.
