Well, I'm not sure if it's really news to anyone but me, but I've recently discovered two great Bible study programs for Macintosh and iPod devotees (of which, of course, I am one).
The first program I found is MacSword. It's a Mac version of the open source Sword project. Here's why I like it so much:
1. It's free, open source software.
2. It runs on the Mac, a platform for which there is such a dearth of good Bible study software.
3. It has downloadable Sword modules for the English Standard Version (endorsed by http://www.desiringgod.org/) and the NET Bible (both also free).
4. It has downloadable Sword modules for some Greek and Hebrew texts, as well as many other free Bible texts, commentaries, devotionals, and other books.
The second program that I found is podBible. It's the only iPod Bible I know of, and includes the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs, and it's in the English Standard Version! Oh, and one more thing... free!

"Given Apple's marketing toward the young and the trendy, you wouldn't expect the U.S. Army to be much of a customer. Lieutenant Colonel C.J. Wallington is hoping hackers won't expect it either.
Wallington, a division chief in the Army's office of enterprise information systems, says the military is quietly working to integrate Macintosh computers into its systems to make them harder to hack. That's because fewer attacks have been designed to infiltrate Mac computers, and adding more Macs to the military's computer mix makes it tougher to destabilize a group of military computers with a single attack, Wallington says."
