Apple TV version 2.3.1 now available. Boxee users, I hope you turned off auto-updates?
Apple has pushed an Apple TV update tonight that brings the device’s software to version 2.3.1. Unfortunately, the software update procedure on Apple’s home theater device does not offer any list of what changes with each upgrade, so we are forced to just download and hunt around until we find improvements.
One change that has been noted by those who neglected to disable auto-updates when they installed Boxee, is that the update unceremoniously removes the third-party add-on. I can’t say I’m surprised.
If any of you readers discovers any new and exciting additions to the Apple TV’s abilities brought about by the application of this update, please tell us what you’ve found in the comments.

If you’re a font addict like I am, but don’t use any kind of third-party font management software, a peek inside your Fonts folder may overwhelm you. And, if you ever suspect that an installed font is giving you system problems, you may need to sort through your collection and get rid of some typographic dead weight. The problem is, it’s hard to tell which fonts might have been installed by Mac OS X and may possibly be required for Apple apps to run properly.
Apple’s decision to block third party apps on the iPhone and iPod Touch has stirred controversy unheard of even among the passionate Mac faithful. Is this the end of the Apple we love?
