Apple Remote Desktop gets an update.

UPDATE:
Apple Remote Desktop 3.4 update is now available through Apple Support Downloads page.

UPDATE:
Apple Remote Desktop is also available on Mac App Store. Since I’ve installed the update through Software Update, I cannot tell if the already installed ARD could be updated through Mac App Store. I’ll try it on a different Mac later today.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.4 update appears after installing Mac OS X 10.6.6.

UPDATE:
Mac OS X 10.6.6 Update is now available on Apple Support Downloads page.

Apple just released Mac OS X 10.6.6 coinciding with Mac App Store Opening. So much for the rumors that it would open at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The build number is 10J567, while the previous versions carry the build number 10J537.

Will we see Mac OS X 10.6.6 today?

Thursday January 6th, 2011.

Mac App Store is scheduled to open today. Some sites are reporting that the Mac App Store will open at 12:00 PM Eastern Time or 5:00 PM UTC. As the zero hour draws near, it is unclear if Mac OS X 10.6.6 would be a required prerequisite for Macs to access the Mac App Store. According to some reports, Apple seeded Mac OS X 10.6.6 build 10J537 to Developers back in December 2nd, 2010.

We will see if Mac App Store requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 in 4 hours and 13 minutes from this original post time.
