OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Download Available with Facebook Integration

On the heels of releasing its latest mobile operating system iOS 6, Apple has also released OS X 10.8.2 to the general public. OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 brings the much anticipated Facebook integration that allows users to post to Facebook from Notification Center, share photos, and posts statuses right from the operating system itself without having to open the actual Facebook Web site. Just like in iOS 6, Facebook is integrated with GameCenter and the Contacts stored on your Mac. The update also packs Power Nap support for late-2010 MacBook Air laptops.

OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update also includes support for several features integrating with iOS 6, such as Passbook passes and iMessage/FaceTime access via phone number. The update is currently available via the Software Update functionality in the Mac App Store. The download is just over 365MB and download speeds will vary depending on your Internet connection. The update is free for anyone that purchased OS X Mountain Lion already. You will need to restart your computer after installing the update.

Apple also released OS X Lion 10.7.5 fixing minor bugs and stability improvements as well as fixing Gatekeeper, which aims to protects you from apps not signed by Apple.
