News/Weather App/Program Notifications

[twinturbonet]

Hello!

I know Windows 7 has some gadgets for weather and some RSS feeds, but I'm looking for something else to use. Anyone know any good software that can give me notifications on my desktop for news, weather, and possibly gaming or tech news?

thanks in advance
