This is probably the same line of thought that convinced Dario Volaric to create a back to basics edition of this Wallpaper Shifter application. This will probably appeal to many users who are looking for a lightweight wallpaper changer. The application picks a random wallpaper from a directory selected by the user and sets it as the active Windows wallpaper.

Once that has been done it closes down which means that it will not use any system resources from that point on. The application was designed to run during system startup but it can also be run when executed while Windows is running.

It comes with a few options to change the scale mode (automatic, crop, fit, center) and the background (default, blur, edge repeat) but that’s it. If you are looking for a one time a session wallpaper changer then this might be exactly what you are looking for.

Make sure to check out the wallpaper repositories Windows 7 Wallpapers or Windows Wallpapers.

This catches the iPhone up with Google's (GOOG) G1 'GPhone', though the iPhone doesn't seem to have the same automatic "digital compass" technology as the G1, so you have to move around manually. That's fine -- either way, very addictive.

The software update also includes some user interface improvements and lets you download podcasts over the air. It does not include over-the-air iTunes purchases, as we had supposed it might. Seems like that's a rights/pricing issue.

Enhancements to Maps
- Google Street View
- public transit and walking diretions
- display address of dropped pins

Apple has just released software update 2.3 for the Apple TV. Right now, we don't have the change log, but we'll update the post as soon as we get more information.

It is important to know that as with all other Apple TV firmware updates, running the update WILL remove any non-Apple TV software. So if you have installed the USB boxee hack you might want to wait on running the update.

Apple TV will eventually prompt you to run the automatic update, so boxee or XBMC users might want to check out the XBMC.org forums for information on disabling automatic updates.

If you are not using any additional software and would like to download this new update, you can do so by visiting Settings > General > Software Update from the main Apple TV menu. If you notice any new features, be sure to let us know in the comments.

Update: Apple has now posted a change log on their website. According to the knowledge base article, the following aspects of Apple TV have been updated:

• AirTunes Streaming from Apple TV - Music can be streamed via AirTunes to Airport Express speakers or other Apple TVs in your house.
• Third-party Remote Controls - Apple TV can now learn other remote controls and use them in addition to the Apple Remote.
• Playlists - Playlists in iTunes that contain Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Music Videos can now be seen on Apple TV.
• Music Volume Control - Support for volume control in Music.

Thanks for the tip, Jeff.
