Apple releases Mac OS X 10.6.6 coinciding with Mac App Store Opening.

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.

CES 2011: Windows Support for Silicon on a Chip Architectures.

Windows on ARM architectures, who would’ve guessed? Actually the rumor mills had been talking about it. Today Microsoft announces support of System on a Chip Architectures From Intel, AMD, and ARM for next version of Windows.

Next version of Windows? Do you mean Windows 8?
Microsoft have not officially called the next version of Windows as Windows 8 yet.

Is it anything new?
Not really. Windows NT kernel was ported to PPC and DEC-Alpha back in the 90’s. Actually it took Microsoft’s way too long to add suports for ARM architecture.

What’s next?
Steve Ballmer’s CES Keynote at 6:30 PM Pacific Time. CNET is covering it Live.
Live Video feed, or is it?

CES 2011: Keynote Overload!

It is CES week and there will be tons of keynotes coming from different companies preceding the main event. There’s Intel, LG, Microsoft, Motorola, Samsung, etc. delivering their keynotes. Then there will be tons of Press events. I’m not sure which one to follow.

Let’s hope for something really interesting, not just another rehash of CES 2010.

p.s. CNET will be bringing some live coverages of the keynotes and press events.

p.s.p.s. I want to buy new DSLR camera.
