OSX 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0 Out - You May Not Need It

Apple has silently released a new supplemental update to the OSX 10.8.1, and calls it version 1.0. We think most of you won't really need it, but it's better to keep your computers up to date. If you're experiencing issues with certain Japanese characters appearing incorrectly in Mail or caught your kids accessing the sites using Safari that you confidently blocked using the parental control settings or have problems booting your machine with more than 64 GB of RAM (yes, 64 GB)? If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, it might be a good idea to launch your app center or go to Apple icon in the top-left corner of your screen and select the 'Software Update' menu item.



The overall download size of the update patch is 27 MB and be aware that the update requires you to reboot your system. Those who're running the older OSX may note that there's another OS X Lion 10.7.5 #-Link-Snipped-# available from Apple to address a nagging issue with the Time Machine and apps signed up using developer IDs failing to launch.

While most of the Mac world will be just fine without the update, we'd recommend you to go ahead and download the 27 MB tonic from Apple.
