Tomorrow, August 28, Apple will launch its long awaited Mac OS X Snow Leopard Operating System, which they claim will be “the world’s most advanced operating system”.

It is supposed to be faster, easier to use and more reliable than the previous version (Mac OS X Leopard). Not to mention it also frees up 7GB of space (enough to hold 1,500 more songs or thousands more photos).

Some of the new advanced features include: faster time to wake up, shut down and join a wireless network, faster installation, higher resolution iChat, faster more powerful Safari, more efficient file sharing and much much more!

But if you’re hesitant to upgrade to this new version because you don’t want to have to take the time to learn how to use an entire new operating system don’t be. As Apple says the new MAC OS X Snow Leopard has “been refined, not reinvented”.

Best of all it only costs 25 pounds to upgrade to MAC OS X Snow Leopard!

How many times have found it almost impossible to wake up in the morning?  Maybe its because you are not getting the quality sleep that your body needs. With the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach you can discover your sleeping patterns and learn how to get a more restful sleep.

The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is a new educational tool and motivational programme that helps you to understand how you are sleeping and behaviours that may be helping or hindering your sleep.

The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach consists of three parts: the headband, the bedside display and myZeo website.

The soft, lightweight headband uses SoftWave sensor technology to track your sleep patterns and then wirelessly sends the information to the bedside display.

The bedside display tracks your sleep information such as: the time it takes you to fall asleep, total amount of REM sleep, time in wake and times woken, your ZQ (a score which gauges the quantity, quality and depth of your sleep) and how long you were actually sleeping. It also includes an SD memory card that enables you to easily transfer your sleep data to your web-based sleep account (the myZeo website).

At the myZeo website, the sleep tools, your sleep journal and the personal coaching section allow you to learn the associations between your sleeping habits and how they impact your lifestyle.

Now it is especially important to get a good night’s sleep as your holidays are dwindling away and school is about to start back up.

Do you remember how much fun it was to have an ant farm as a kid? Now you can have one once again but this time without all the mess! Nature meets the virtual world with the Bandai Ants Life Studio!

It’s a bit similar to a Tamagotchi in that you must take care of your ants to keep them alive. You can interact with them by feeding them to help them survive and build their nest, but be careful not to shake them of they will wind up stunned and confused!

This cool ant farm is made by Bandai and retails for around 86 pounds.

I’m happy that I no longer have to worry about someone putting me in a little plastic cage! Thanks Bandai!
