Google gets serious about the Mac

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Google gets serious about the Mac

Here are a few of the best open-source Mac projects from Google:
* AppMenuBoy: Easily add hierarchical menus in the dock of applications.
* MacFuse: "Implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user space program on Mac OS X...(that) opens up a whole new set of opportunities for Macintosh developers, who can now put intuitive and innovative interfaces around all kinds of information."
* Statz: Ever want to update your status in Skype, Adium, etc. all at the same time, from one user interface? Well, here you go.
* Vidnik: "Record video segments using your iSight camera, and upload them to YouTube." Makes the Mac-to-YouTube process even easier (if that was possible).
There's much more. You can always find stable projects ready for mass consumption like Google Desktop for the Mac and Notifier here, but much of the most intriguing code is housed on the Playground
