Before the flame war begins. Let me remind Apple Haters that it was just a speculation, as Ben said it's probably some internal process, just like "watchdog" that runs the ATV interface (finder.app) every couple of minutes if it's not running (annoying for hackers).
No shit. I'd be one of the first to raise bloody hell if Apple did this but for right now there isn't even circumstantial evidence. Hell there isn't even evidence since all we know is something changed on a hacked system. OMG! That could NEVER happen! Until there is proof I call bullshit. That being said since it is running a version of OS X how does Apple update critical OS patches? So its not out of the realm of possibilities that Apple does have something in place to auto update.

I'd like to see such restraint when there is a speculation about an MS issue. Instead of the wall to wall vitriol.
