Well, I've tried using the PPA posted in OMG UBUNTU! . But nothing appears in the update manager.
So how do I get the updates without adding the ppa for unity 3.8.16
?

looking at the ppa - although the package is "natty" - its only available to oneiric... looks like the development team havent yet published it for natty.
Maybe an oversight or is it deliberate?
It could be that OMG Ubuntu jumped in too fast announcing this one when the devs havent actually got a natty repo ready.
I'm not going to test this myself, but if you definitely need this version then maybe edit your sources.list for the PPA and change the source distro from natty to oneiric.
Then hit that check button in update-manager one more time.
Confirm the unity version by running
unity --version
Looking at the comments on OMG! Ubuntu - there is a comment from Jorge Castro who said that 3.8.16 is going to be available in Natty Proposed either now or very soon. Perhaps better to wait until there is an official Repository of the Natty Desktop PPA.
Follow these steps:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa
sudo apt-get update
gksu update-manager
