Samsung has confirmed that they will be releasing a new Smart TV SDK at the CES 2013 next week, that will add support for Mac and Linux operating systems.In addition to Windows, version 4.0 of the Smart TV SDK will allow Smart TV app development on both Linux and Mac OS.

 

The new platform supports USB controllers, keyboards and joysticks, and allow developers to display ads in their TV apps. Samsung has also implemented a payment module, which allows developers to create premium apps.

 

Samsung's developer community has 25,000 registered users from 140 countries, but taken the number of TV apps into consideration most of them are probably inactive.

 

We are not sure what this means Samsung's Google TV plans but Samsung might choose to run the two platforms side-by-side - like Sony is doing today.

100,000 new tours to the virtual globe-trotting practice have been added to Google Earth. You can experience. You can experience places that you might not ever get a chance to visit all across the world via 3D flyovers, Wikipedia extracts and pictures.


Google applies various thumbnails from the photos which specifically correspond to that particular location. Most people should not have any challenges experiencing any virtual tour they want because sites and cities from over 200 different countries are now shown. The approach remains the same and no additional effort is required. As long as Google Earth is installed on your Android device or desktop, then you have access to this additional information and you can download it for free.
