Rejoice! There Is A Page Rank Update

Rejoice! There is a page rank update finally! I am thinking this is a major one since 3 of my blogs got a page rank boost. My travel blog went from 0 to 2, my personal blog went from 3 to 4 and my art blog went from 2 to 3.

I am hoping that my two other blogs which have 0 have not yet been processed by Google. I am actually expecting an increase of page rank in all of my blogs.

This blog maintained its ranking of 4 and I am still thankful for it even though I looked forward to getting a 5 but better this than 0 right? I really thought Google killed its page rank system. I have read that some sites had updates of their own but it was some sort of a minor update.

Since 3 of my blogs had page rank changes, I am thinking this is a major update that everyone has been waiting for. What do you think? Is this the major update that website owners have been waiting for? Did your blog or site get a page rank increase or a decrease? Share your thoughts.

December 2010 Pagerank Update

We have reached the last month of 2010 but there has been no sign of any activity of any pagerank update. I expected it to be this month because the last known major update was in April and there have not been one since. I know a lot of people are expecting it to be this month since it is the end of 2010.

We can only speculate. That is all that we can do. While I believe Google has totally abandoned pagerank, if they have not, I am guessing they are doing a major overhaul with their code on how they rank sites. If this will be so, I expect a lot of surprise ranking changes in all sites. There will be happy blog owners and there will be disgruntled owners.

Me? I hope there will be an update. I have been waiting for 3 of my blogs to have their rankings increase. But as always, we can just speculate … and wait.

Huge Mac OSX 10.6.5 Update

Oh man, this is one huge update. The total file size that my system is downloading totals to almost 600MB. Now that, is big. I cannot remember when I did download an update but this one is sure to take long. Mac OSX’s update process is annoying.

While it is normal to restart your system, it is irritating to wait while the update is being installed after the reboot. This should be done after the download. Instead, you have to wait till it finishes installing. It should behave like how Windows does it with its updates.

Anyway, enhancements for this update include improved Microsoft Exchange reliability, a variety of performance and stability improvements, security fixes, a couple of Bluetooth tweaks, and in answer to some Mac Pro owners’ prayers - systems with a Mac Pro RAID Card from early 2009 can now be put to sleep (Apple Menu > Sleep).

10.6.5 also comes with many security fixes, vulnerabilities in everything from Adobe Flash to MySQL to Apache.
