 * Linux**

Linux is a UNIX-based Operating system. Its original name was Phreax, having to do with Free and UNIX, and phreaking (cracking a phone). They didn’t like the name, so the creator, Linus Trovalds, renamed it to Linux (after his name).

It is completely open-source, meaning anyone can get it free and see the code

Examples include Solaris, Ubuntu and Debian. UNIX is a small operating system developed by AT&T.


 * Google Chrome OS**

Google Chrome OS is a Chrome-Based OS for a Tablet under development. Its main feature will obviously be browsing the web. It will combine apps and Chrome into the normal top of Google Chrome. Apps in use would dock at the bottom of the screen. It might have a split-screen for viewing 2 things at once. There will be a built in media player, which will later be implemented into the Chrome Browser too.


 * iPhone OS v 3.x**

The main applications that come with it are(copied/pasted): Messages (Text messaging, MMS), Calendar, Photos (with video viewer on 3GS), Camera (Video recording and auto-focus enabled in iPhone 3GS), YouTube, Stocks (Yahoo! Finance), Maps (Google Maps, with Assisted GPS on iPhone 3G and 3GS), Weather (Yahoo! Weather), Clock (with stopwatch, alarm clock and timer), Calculator (with scientific version), Voice Memos, Notes, Settings, iTunes (with access to the iTunes Music Store and iTunes Podcast Directory), App Store, Compass (on the 3GS), and Contacts (with landscape support). Four other applications delineate the iPhone's main purposes: Phone, Mail, Safari, and iPod.

This OS lets you use the iPhone (DUH). It is very user friendly, lets you download apps and music directly.

This OS is used also on iPod Touch, minus the SMS and Phone apps. Also, for iPod Touch, the iPod app is split into 2 apps: Music and Videos.

This OS doesn’t support third-party apps, unless they follow the accepting process. So people have developed for OS 1.0-2.x (unstable on 3.x) tools that let you download third-party apps. However, a jailbreak, like blackra1n, is required to get Cydia, Icy, Rock, and Installer apps that let you install third-party apps.

__**Image editor**__

An image editor is a soft ware used to edit images which are downloaded from cameras and other digital photographs.

Paint and Photoshop are examples of image editors. When we paste the image in paint document we can now draw on peoples faces or even delete them using them.

This is how the picture was. This is how it became after editing it.

Pixels are often called picture elements. The pixels contain every thing about the image. By using image editors the image can be saved in many ways in the pixel. In the digital image editors we can find adobe **Photoshop, GIMP, Corel photo-paint, paint shop pro and** paint.NET. By using image editors we can change colors too. For example if you got a picture from a friend which has a pink dog. There is no pink dog. This person edited the image. By using the image editor we can make colors brighter. We can make the dark blue light blue. This is all about the image editor. Remember if there is an image that does not please you edit it!
