My SGS3 just updated its software. Anyone else? What does it mean?

I was hoping this would be Jelly Bean. Maybe it wasn't even that sort of update. It said software, not firmware. Is the OS considered firmware or software? Did anyone else's phone just updated itself? Will I even notice anything different?

I think it's just some bug fixes and they added a brightness slider to the notification shade. It was leaked a while ago on xda and I tried it for a little while, there weren't really any big changes in it.

Seriously?

Yes. This update has been on the news cycle for over a month now.

Is it possible to disable future updates?
Edit: The latest version is 4.0.4, right?

You could just not choose to install it.
