Dear readers,
Mac DevCenter is featuring two great new articles on some of the
freshest technologies to hit the Mac platform. Apple TV has arrived
and a dedicated cadre of Mac hackers have descended on the new
device, pried it apart, and are rapidly coming up with all kinds of
interesting hacks and applications for Apple's set top box. Erica
Sadun too has been hacking away on the new Apple TV and presents our
"State of the Hacks" roundup of what people are doing with their
Apple TV boxes. Discover what kinds of mods are out there and whether
they're the right fit for your needs and abilities.

Meanwhile, Google finally released a Mac version of its popular
desktop search product and Giles Turnbull didn't waste any time in
putting the new app through its paces and reporting back for us.
Learn what Google Desktop can do for you, how it does it, and why it
needs to install itself with high-level permissions on your system,
in this in-depth look at Google Desktop for the Mac.

The Mac DevCenter blogs have been hopping with more Apple TV hacks,
some Joost news, and a heated discussion of Michigan's plan for
government-sponsored iPods in schools. Drop by and let us know what
you think.
