Thanks for letting me know. Was starting to wonder what to do, its been almost 30 minutes now.
I can confirm forced shutdown works to solve the problem. And I thought the update was supposed to be rock solid....
Got a tip for us?

Definitely put them on the SSD.
----------
That was probably the goal of releasing it today.
Yes, but I'm doing an erase and install and would like to start immediately with 10.8.3. I've waited this long so can wait a bit longer. In fact my download just finished so proceeding now. I'll check back in a couple of days after all my software etc. is installed. Hope it goes well.
It is on posted the iCloud system status page. I was having the same problem, but it cleared itself up.
10.8.3 and TRIM support
The 10.8.3 update broke TRIM support for non-Apple drives.
Likely take a couple of days for the various patches and GUIs to be updated to re-enable this feature on the SSDs. There are apparently some strings which changed.
Given "Trim Enabler" is simply a GUI atop either a python or a perl script (not sure which) I suppose whomever wrote the original script and shared it, will figure it out.

sandboxd and mdworker Console messages STILL showing up - everyone and their dog reported this and still no fix, Apple?
This happens with every point update because the kext files that the TRIM enabler hacks get replaced. Just run the TRIM enabler again and it usually turns TRIM back on.
Just installed the new driver pack for Bootcamp and it doesn't appear that there are any newer Windows 8 drivers, though there are more for a few things like wireless etc from different manufacturers. Just the app and the guide that's been updated to include the words Windows 8 I think.
no, it is broken
The present scripts do not re-enable TRIM. Strings changed, and MD5 fails, etc.

With how cheap ram is, I doubt you'll be seeing a low ram browser. I stopped using safari because chrome works better with the rmbp. I'm currently eating up 400 mb of ram with 2 windows open...
If there were multiple news stories released at the same time as the software went out, I'd hardly call that "without any fanfare". Sure, they didn't do an event last time, but it's not like it just showed up on the dev site without any mention elsewhere.
Finally "real" Windows 8 Support
The overlay (onscreen visual feedback) is back again for brightness and volume control. Those were missing on Windows 7 support software used on Windows 8 installation. Can't see other enhancements.
Not on mine they weren't. They worked fine with the Windows 7 support pack.
I'm still happily on iTunes 10. Will this update also update iTunes to version 11? Would prefer it didn't.
Ah... I see. I was not clear from your post you had tried to run the enabler again. Previous point releases it worked if you just ran the enabler once more.
