Apple Releases OS X 10.8.3 With Mac App Store Gift Card Camera Redemption and Boot Camp Enhancements

I'm much rather dual boot to Ubuntu than Windows 8. I'd like to try out Ubuntu. But as far as I can tell, there's no easy way to do that. 
Safari seems... snappier on sites like The Verge. I used to get about 25fps with 6.0.2 and now I'm getting 35-36fps on my 2011 MBA i5/4GB. It's nowhere near as quick as Webkit nightly's 50+ but it's a start. I'll probably have to take the plunge on a rMBP 2014 to be honest -- I love this little guy but it's just not as speedy as I thought it'd be in 2013. Also, the lack of USB 3.0 sucks, I didn't think Apple would adopt it so soon.
rMBP
I don't know what devilry this is, but when you're in a scaled resolution on a rMBP and using integrated graphics, switching between launchpad pages is smooth! on 10.8.2 it was extremely laggy unless you switched discrete graphics on. Aiiiiggghtt.

yup
Right, this time they (Apple) might have changed compilers, or perhaps changed the way it specifically enables TRIM, etc. Who knows?

really?
So you upgraded to 10.8.3, and TRIM shows it is enabled?
Which program, python or perl, did you use? Maybe they do different things?
That's curious.

Not on mine they weren't. They worked fine with the Windows 7 support pack.
I have 3 Mac's: 2 iMac's and 1 MacBook Pro 17". None of them was showing the onscreen overlay when using Fn+F1/F2 for adjusting brightness or Fn+F10/F11/F12 for adjusting volume.
Now with the "real" Windows 8 support software they ALL are showing the onscreen overlay
While you certainly can do it, frequent restarts and cold boots really isn't good for your computer, odd as it sounds.
Awesome update
Working beautifully on my late 2012 MBPr/16GB/550GB.
Safari goes like stink. No problem reloading about thirty tabs from the previous shutdown. (We'll see if the occasional odd graphic artifact occurs after some hours of use, though.)
No problems with cloud services.
No problems with anything in the keychain.
No shutdown issues.
VMWare Fusion runs perfectly, maybe a slight speed increase ...or maybe I'm seeing what I want to see... but my Win7 64 bit VM boots up damn near instantly now, as does my Linux Mint VM. Swift.
GPU bitmining throughput via guiminer is same as before (~20MH/sec using default settings... not bad, but no one would confuse it with a desktop unit with a high-end graphics card... I was hoping driver updates might squeeze another 10% out, but apparently not).
The update process itself was pretty cool... there was one segment where the progress bar bolted from 0 to complete in about 0.5 seconds, accompanied by an audible "whoosh." Cute touch!
Gad I love this machine. It was awesome before and seems a tick more so now. I wanna have its baby.

Finally people can change the whining tune from 'when is it going to be released' to 'why was it released'.
Scratch my earlier post. I disabled and reenabled and then restarted and now TRIM support is back. All is well in my modded-SSD world.
