My absolute favorite in terms of updating is Calibre; an otherwise excellent app (albeit with a fairly "experimental" UI).
Calibre tells me about a new release every single time I open it, they seem to release almost daily.
Sadly the "update" button on that dialog merely opens the web-browser, where you have to manually download and install the new version. Oh, and that is a 60MB(!) download every time.
The procedure is so absurd that it's actually amusing again. That's why I'm still doing it, I guess, even though after 20 or 30 updates I still haven't noticed any visible change to the software.
