Xbox Live Dashboard Widget for Mac OS X

Despite many of the Xbox 360's features being tied down to Windows systems, we have a feeling Mac users will feel right at home on the console. From the polished, simple interface to the sexy, white hardware, the 360 seems a little more Cupertino than Redmond. Some of us who use Macs have been left out in the cold, while Windows users have been treated to software like a friends list and an alternative to Xbox Live (turns out there is a Mac port to XLink Kai. Thanks, Nick). We got an email from a developer who has finally given Mac users something to play with. It's a widget for Mac OS 10.4's Dashboard. Just add in a friend's gamertag and keep track of what they're playing. Great!
[Thanks, Abraham]

This one is the original developed a while back by Alerus of One South Clan.
IMO, it's not only the original, but it looks cleaner and is less buggy than the one mentioned here.. Go get it!

Crazyglues, there is one for Konfabulator already. Just go digging a little on their website.
Mac users don't get all the fun.

Now the question is does this one actually refresh properly? I've use the onesouth one and one or two others along w/ rolling my own. Yet all seem to hang after a day or two, and require a manual refresh(command + R).
