WEB BROWSERS & SEARCH ENGINES

Many people don't know the answer to the following question: "What is the difference between a web browser and a search engine?" Now I will try to explain this difference...

I have read in the internet a really good comparison to show this differrence: if you are sitting in your car, a web browser is like the windshield and the search engine is like the steering wheel.

A browser is a program installed on your PC locally (for example firefox, safari or internet explorer) that is used to access the Internet, to view what there is, it's the application that enables you to access the world wide web.

A search engine is a program which has reference data so that when you type in a phrase it gives a list of a websites that relate to the words you have typed in.

In conclusion, you use a browser to get to a search engine (you use Firefox to get to www.google.com where you then look for specific information).

GIMP 2.6

GIMP (short for the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free sofware image editor similar to photoshop. It is primarily used as an image retouching and editing tool and is freely available to use in Microsoft's Windows, Apple's Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux.

It does not only helpo you do detailed image retouching and free-form drawing, GIMP can also do essential image editing tasks such as resizing, editing, and cropping photos, photomontages combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF format.

GIMP's product vision is that GIMP is or will become a free software high-end graphics application for the editing and creation of original images, icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements.

Lets see how this ends up but it's clearly a good start to get free software!
