Live digital photo capture/viewing on a Mac

I always see professional photographers on TV viewing their shots on a Mac immediately (or what looks like it is immediately) after they take the shot. I am not sure what type of configuration that is but I believe it should be a fairly easy setup. (I remember reading about how to do it in one of my photo magazines that I cannot find).
I am not sure if this was done natively in Photoshop, Aperture or Lightroom, with just a simple USB connection from the Mac to camera.
I have the Mac. Photoshop, Aperture and a Nikon D80.
Am I thinking something crazy or is this possible?

In Aperture 2, this is called tethering. A great feature but you cannot use any camera for it although iPhones work great. You still have to point with the camera and cannot see the image on the computer monitor until you capture it. More on their website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1085.

Tethering!!! That is exactly what I needed to know, and I think that is the original reason I purchased Aperture instead of Lightroom in the first place. This gives me enough information to continue my search. THANKS!!
