Google TV?

Google TV is a great tool created by Google. It is very similar to Apple TV, however there is no compatibility with Apple products. You can either purchase a TV with Google TV built-in, or you can purchase a separate box (like Apple TV) to connect to your television set. Google TV has a version of the Android App Marketplace and it can run special apps. Netflix, YouTube, and Chrome are all available. You can also search Live TV, and purchase and rent movies from within the software.

Photoshop Alternatives?

Photoshop is a great photo editing software offered by Adobe however to obtain it you must purchase it. There are however a few free alternatives.

If you want cloud-based editing that you can access from anywhere, you can use Aviary, while probably not as strong as Photoshop or GIMP, the site still has many great tools for medium editing. Along with Aviary Phoenix (photo editor), there is the music editor, color editor, and much more. You can also make a profile on the site and once you publish a creation, you will be provided with a link to share the creation. Embed codes are also provided.

For a desktop-based alternative you can go with GIMP, a great editing software. It is much more powerful than Aviary Phoenix and has great features. Its full name is GNU Image Manipulation Program. The logo is a dog, to download it is quite large and it takes time to install, however it is worth it.

Both GIMP and Aviary are free.
