I would like to include a RSS aggregator very similar to the one on Apple.com (their "Hot News" section). I have tried my best to "reverse engineer" the aggregator, but with no success. Does anyone happen to know where I can find some resources to accomplish this? I have little to no training in programming.

Do you mean the ticker thing that flashes the headlines through on the front page?

If so, then I can't help you - if you mean something else, I might be able to help you.

the easiest option would be to use something like a ticker tape:

it would mean manually updating it every time, but the effect would be there

Give what jondaAG said a go. I'm not sure about RSS - some googling for 'RSS ticker' 'RSS tools for webmasters' 'create an RSS ticker' and things like that could work if you're dead-set on RSS-based tickers.

I can have a look around on websites and ask some firends and read some books if you want me too - but I'm busy with my production of Les Mis for the next couple of days.
