Apple’s latest operating system – OS X 10.7, codenamed Lion was announced on Thursday. Just in a day 1 million copies of this operating system have been sold out from Mac App store.

Costing of this new operating system is $29.99 at the Mac App Store which means Apple has earned less than $30 million in such a short period. If we compare this earning with company’s quarterly earning then this amount is 0.1 percent. This operating system has become very popular and around 90 percent of buyer are giving positive reviews about it.

Apple is not distributing it on a physical DVD or not giving hard copies of it like other operating systems does, It is being distributed through the Mac App Store as a 4-gigabyte download and it allowed many users to download it quickly. It has set a standard for software to be released in future.

Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg said, “Typically the idea of downloading the 4 gigabyte operating system and installing it over existing stuff and expecting it to work isn’t a common expectation for a lot of users. Conventional wisdom says you should do a clean install, and broadband connections are finally fast enough.”

Taking inspiration from Apple’s mobile iPhone operating system, the new operating system OS X 10.7, codenamed Lion has been built as a lightweight operating system. For opening applications, it features a springboard-style Launch pad and many multi-touch gestures which are already available on the iPhone and iPad.

Gartenberg said, “At the end of the day, it’s not the $30, it’s about how this will continue to drive Mac sales and how it continues to drive iPad and iPhone sales. The whole experience is evocative of using an iPad, and that’s going to drive more iPad and iPhone sales.”

Many times people are misguided about which food they should eat and which they can’t for keeping them in shape.

A senior instructor from nutrition at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Jane Korsberg said, “The word ‘diet’ is negative and implies people can go on and off them.”

She thinks that it would be better idea to re-think the concept of dieting.

Jane explained, “Diet foods’ are confusing to many people. What diet is the ‘diet food’ geared for? Is it low-calorie, low-fat, low-sodium, low-sugar, gluten-free, etc?”

Though there are many diet food available in the market but that doesn’t satisfy every dieters. There are packets of 100-calorie snacks and it is said that they help people controlling their calories but the truth is that it doesn’t work for everyone. Because after finishing one packet, people wish to eat more.

Important point is that if one wants to be thin, they should opt for healthy food and should eat in small size and keep one busy in activities.

Jane said, “Learning to eat properly for a lifetime is more beneficial. The emphasis should be on choosing healthful foods every day and changing lifestyles for the better.”

There are few foods options available for people who want to keep check on their weight. These foods taste delicious and if one will eat in proportion, will always be fit.

Apple
Apple is very good fruit for the people who wants to keep tab on their weight. This fruit provide dietary fiber which helps to a healthy digestive system and also helps in reducing cholesterol. Those who eat apple are satisfied properly and it doesn’t add calorie to their body.

During a study it was revealed that when women ate three apples in their daily meal were able to lost more weight than those who ate three oat cookies in their daily food.

This finding revealed that there is a mystery exists behind it because if someone ate apple, they chew it and it gave signal to their body that they are full and satisfied and keeps hunger away.

Though salmon has fat content but it is low in calories. If one eats 3-oz in a serving, it only gives 175 calories. It also provides protein to the dieters.

Eggs
Eggs too are a good food for dieters. Its satiating power is impressive. It helps in keeping check on weight.
