     Finally! Google has released some more competition for Apple; this time in the line of TV. Google's new "Chromecast" allows users to stream online media such as YouTube, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, and of course the ever so popular Netflix. Although these are the only services available, Chromecast looks for future support in third-party applications such as Hulu plus, Pandora Internet Radio, and HBO Go. Chromecast also streams your Chrome internet browser on your laptop, iOS and, Android smartphone/tablet similar as Apple TV has Airplay for iPad and iPhones but the difference is support and price. Chromecast as of now goes for one payment of 35 dollars and you receive a small HDMI input device that you plug in the back of your LED LCD HD TV. It has a similar look of a bulky USB flash drive but still barley noticeable in the back of a TV. Apple TV's go for 99.99 dollars before tax and warranty services and does the same things mentioned above with the addition of plenty more services like ESPN, NBA TV and, Vimeo and much more. Chromecast is still a work in progress and is actually Google's 3rd attempt at dominating your living room TV but, its nice if you just hate apple's guts and its totally disregard for consumer opinions... $200 on contract my butt.
