Last year a Apple's World Wide DevelopersConference(WWDC) 2008 Appleannouncedtheirnew OS called SnowLeopard. Snow Leopard's goal is to deliver a faster and smarter version of their currentOperatingSystem called Leopard. Alsoarrivingwith theupgradeis Quicktime X. Apple says,

Since 2001, Mac OS X has delivered more than a thousand innovative new features. With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus. Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard — scheduled to ship in about a year — builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.

 

Apple is also introducing OpenCL which

makes it possible for developers to efficiently tap the vast gigaflops of computing power currently locked up in the graphics processing unit (GPU)

If you couldn'tunderstandthat fancy vocabulary, it basically means stuff will go faster, much faster.

AppleInsiderreportsthat Apple's Quicktime X will now have pro features built in as well as a new interface which rids the old play pause FF and RW buttons for an iPhone like box that just floats in the window itself.

Here is the current window:

Last week I ordered my first SeV product.The significance is that CEO Scott Jordan found out a way to have literally dozens of pockets on your clothing without looking like you are wearing a fishing vest and cargo pants. My jacket contains 11 pockets total (although only six of them are big enough to carry a credit card) and only has three pockets that stick out when you look at the outside of the jacket.

The material, because I am assuming you don't know what Microfleece is, feels like one of those very soft TheNorthFace vests.

Comfortable, stylish and useful, the Ultimate Hoodie Microfleece is a must have layer. It has earned its title as the Ultimate Hoodie with 11 hidden pockets and compartments that are strategically located and designed to manage all of your gadgets. Our patented Personal Area Network (PAN) provides wire management for iPods, cell phones and other wired devices. Special earbud loops keep your music within easy reach.

The Ultimate Hoodie is made of ultra-comfortable, lightweight microfleece, thick enough to keep the chill off but thin enough that you can control your iPod right through the fabric. This hooded sweatshirt features spacious DeepPockets™ with magnetic closures to keep your essentials secure. Other great features include a built-in extendible key chain, a secret pocket and a 2-way front zipper.

That pretty much sums it up! The Hoodie itself cost $79 and is well worth it. The guys over at SeV did a fantastic job making something practical and comfortable. Overall I give it a 4.5 out of 5 because there is definitely more room for hidden pockets. But other than that, Bravo!
