Xbox Live App For OS X

Now that my primary computer is a MacBook Pro (thanks, Sling) this Cocoa Xbox Live application caught my eye. MacLive logs into your account and displays your friends and their status, plus a list of games you’ve played. Selecting check boxes results in a visual notification when a buddy signs on or when the selected games are being played. The app, released through Google Code in December, is a little rough around the edges: Even the developer says it “leaks like a sieve.” However, it’s off to a good start and the price (free) is right… though I’d prefer it as a Dashboard widget.
