Chromium Browser [ Mac ]

Google's Chromium browser for OS X is the only other browser, other than Safari, that I use sometimes. Its open source, which is what I love about it. You can download it from here. I prefer it to Chrome.

The only problem is that it doesn't have an update client, so it won't notify you when newer versions or builds come out. You have to go check, download and install them yourself. Now its not the end of the world, I know. But doing so irritates me. Chromium devs come out with a new build basically every hour, its impossible to keep up.

So I wrote this bash script  that will automate the process. It checks for the currently installed build, checks the latest build, and if its newer downloads and installs it. So whenever you want to update your version of Chromium just run the script. You can edit the first line of the script to change the default installation directory. Just change the path to your Chromium installation DIRECTORY. Very simple, by default it installs to your Applications folder.
You will still have all your history, bookmarks...etc after installation.

If you have any questions post them in the comments section.

Mac OS X 10.6.7 update

Apple has recently released an update 10.6.7 for OS X.

This update can be treated as 10.6.6.
If you are doing a fresh install, you can follow the Holy Hackintosh Guide using 10.6.7. If you are upgrading your current install, you can do that no problems. Just reinstall the AppleHDA.kext (Using Kext Utility, which might be already installed on your machine) to fix sound after upgrading.
You can find the AppleHDA.kext in step 5 in the My Holy Hackintosh Build or just click here.

Mac OS X 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 update

Apple has released two updates since 10.6.4 which are 10.6.5 and 10.6.6.
These updates are just fine to be treated as 10.6.4.
If you are doing a fresh install, you can follow the Holy Hackintosh Guide using 10.6.6 instead of 10.6.4. If you are upgrading your current install, you can do that no problems. Just reinstall the AppleHDA.kext to fix sound after upgrading.
