Apple today released Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 which is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. It also includes the Mac App Store, the best way to discover and buy new apps for your Mac. The Mac App Store, a new application you'll find in the Dock, includes the following features:
• Discover Mac apps: Browse featured apps, top charts, and categories, or search for something specific. Read detailed app descriptions and user reviews, and flip through screen shots.
• Buy and install: Easily purchase apps with your iTunes account. Apps install in one step and are quickly available from the Dock.
• App updates: The Mac App Store keeps track of all your purchased apps and notifies you when free updates are available.

Way ahead of you, updated early this morning...
;^P
My iMac has been locking up more lately than a Windoze box with a virus. Hope this helps.
Mac is now officially on my naughty list. The Manhattan Project has an iPhone app that Apple won’t allow, due the “objectionable” nature of it’s traditional Christian morality. I’ll be moving off Apple when feasible. It was fun while it lasted.
My Mac’s been running slow as a dog, and it’s getting very frustrating since I neither want to clear it out or buy a new one. I have a feeling, though, it’s because my operating system is getting old (and so is my machine... I have the very first Intel iMac).
As for this new “feature”... Wow. So Apple gets to try and sell me things now, right on my dock? Am I supposed to be overwhelmed with gratitude for that?
wow. Just installed it and it is REALLY slow
I installed it this AM and there is no noticable speed diference — perhaps some of you should fix permissions, run Diskwarrior, or use something like Onyx to clean out the gunk and caches.
Bad fonts will also cause problems.
Is AppleRot as real as WinRot?
If not have you repaired permission via Disk Utility?
Yep, only when using the browser.
Check iTunes app store and type in “religion” for a listing of religious based apps. Christianity is well represented. Bibles, children’s Bible’s, Bible stories, Bible versus, your Daily Jesus, Catholic Missal’s......
The only time I've ever seen that happen was a hardware issue with defective RAM. I solved it by pulling the RAM stick and cleaning the contacts with alcohol and reinstating it. I suggest you do the same.
I get that, but the Manhattan app is in fact being rejected for it’s explcitly Christian content. See my post here for a theory of why it has been singled out by Apple for exclusion:

Nope, never seen it happen. Any problems are usually fixed by a ten minute permissions repair job...
It is my understanding that it will be an App Store icon model, so you never have to click on it. And look at what the App Store model has done for the iPhone platform.
Android is copying that model is is successful, too.
Early Windows Mobile didn't, and the app market never caught on. It is trying to get there today.
Notice the pricing on the apps in both the Android and iPhone app stores and tell me if you don't want that model at the desktop level.
I usually don't have to log out my account much less restart the computer. I usually will quit any other applications I have running though.
The same thing happens with Safari.
As I understand it, both browsers have some kind of memory leak that causes them to eventually absorb all the RAM.
Anything that takes control of my computer away from me and gives it to a Nanny State Operating System... I don’t like. You don’t even want to KNOW my feelings about Apple when they started crapping “Automatically Add To iTunes” folders all over my hard drive which keep appearing and which I’m utterly able to prevent.
What is WinRot? I ask because my husband has killed his 7th hard drive on 3 different imacs. He goes through one a year, usually just after the warranty is up. We replaced the last one in Feb, and it just died last month again. I am at my wits end as to what he could be doing that would keep blowing hard drives.

HUH?
