Google TV, There's more on TV than television.

The web is now a channel
With Google Chrome and Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Google TV lets you access everything on the web. Watch your favorite web videos, view photos, play games, check fantasy scores, chat with friends, and do everything else you're accustomed to doing online. Plus, the world's best websites are now being perfected for television.

A new world of apps for your TV

Google TV will come pre-loaded with apps like Netflix, Twitter, CNBC, Pandora, Napster, NBA Game Time, Amazon Video On Demand and Gallery. Starting early next year, apps from Android Market will work on Google TV as well.

Your phone = remote control

Your Android phone or iPhone can be used to control your Google TV in place of a remote control. Use your voice to search, and even use multiple phones to control the same TV. No more fighting over the remote!

YouTube perfected for TV

YouTube is great on the web, but it's even better on television. With YouTube Leanback, you can watch videos without ever clicking play -- just sit back and watch all of your favorite YouTube content, personally chosen for you, in full screen HD. You can even create new channels on the fly.

TV gets a homepage
Turn on your television and you'll instantly have access to your favorite channels, apps, podcasts, and websites, thanks to the Google TV home screen. The home screen is customizable for you, by you, so that you can always change your preferences.

The ultimate picture frame

Turn the biggest screen in your house into a beautiful, high definition photo gallery. Now your TV can stream photos from Picasa, Flickr, and every other photo-sharing site. Plus, you can access any public gallery, not just your own.

Living On The Edge Of World

Seeing pictures of these small communities really was impressed. Living in one of these houses should be incredibly beautiful (think what they should be getting up every day with a shocking landscape) and frightening (imagine a night of storm and high winds on the top floor of one of those houses).

The picture you see below is a city in southern Spain is divided in two by the Tajo Tajo de Ronda in Andalucia and that unites the New Bridge (in Google Maps you can see a perfect picture of it).

This photograph is of Bonifacio, France. This city is located on precarious cliffs through the years was being eroded by the Mediterranean Sea (Google Maps).
