Anybody know what this is about? (I'm on a PC, btw - I'm not sure if it has to do with that?)

Besides the fact that these are guides, and this question is not about programming (check the footer of this site, there's several other sites in this format for questions that are not about programming, such as graphics design), your PSD file looks corrupted.
I'm guessing a bad transfer or something. Ask the guy who sent you that to send it again, maybe.

Go to the view menu and uncheck "extras" :) These are the "guides" that can help you with things like alignment.

or press Ctrl + H. Those are guiding lines for your help to better know the coordinates or whatever you want them to be for. You can add them by clicking on the ruler and draging mouse towards your image.

While doing web development, I often need to edit images. Not photos, not creative work, just simple editing. For example: adding shadow on a button, resizing multiple images, tweaking few pixels here and there, etc.
Photoshop always felt like a huge overkill (not to mention the price). Gimp's price tag is right, but it's still an overkill and somehow I feel clumsy while using it.
So what free/ open source Windows products are simpler yet do the same job?
Note that if product was really great, I would consider paying up to $50 but no more than that.
PAINT.NET
This may be an option. I know that I have used this in the past but it may not be exactly what you need. There are plugins for it though I believe.

you can use Paint.Net on http://www.getpaint.net/download.html
Its free

I've got a question that pertains to mobile graphic design & app development. I'll be using a graphic designer who will create the design, look and feel of the app. Then I was told to request layered .psd files to then pass on to the developer.
My question is: Are layered PSD files the only things that I need to request for the developer?
What other things should I consider?
Thank you all for your help...
They are good enough. Layers make your design more configurable. When you buy a layered PSD image you can easily get/delete/move an object (i.e. button) from that PSD file. Say that you have a button and you want to move it somewhere, you need a picture of that button (i.e. picture layer of an button) and layered PSD file contains that picture layer that you can easily obtain. Everything else is based on do you like the design or not. Simple as that.

Finally i finished my web application and i am ready to show it to the world .. but first i need to a make a kind of demo video of the app, what tools would help me with such task ?
There will be video captures of the screen, some images off course and text ? any recommendations ?
Thanks in advance
Camtasia Studio is the gold standard for this kind of work and is very full featured, but it's a bit pricey. Somewhat more inexpensive and quite good but less full featured is My Screen Recorder Pro.
i think microsoft live meeting has a way to record meetings. What you do is to set up a live meeting with yourself( i know sounds stupid) and then you share your screen with the attendees (its you) and press record meeting. That should work.
But maybe there is something easier out there....

Does anybody know where I can find a free filter that would make a picture look like a painting?
I have tried to play around with some of the build-in filters but none of them really made it look like a painting.
It's not a single filter, but a working tutorial - at least for me: http://www.worth1000.com/tutorial.asp?sid=161032&page=1
I'm guessing this question would be more suitable for superuser.com
Painting is much more than that. What kind of painting ? Are you looking for an oil paint look ? Something close pointillism, impressionism, abstract painting, modernism, suprematism ? etc...do you want to make you picture look like a cheap copy of Van Gogh's style ?
If you're looking for free why not use GIMP ? There is an awesome set of brushes and other tools that make Gimp comparable to Corel Painter called Gimp Paint Studio.
Have a look on Google Code and check the wiki/video/etc. Ramón Miranda makes some amazing things with it.

The .net compact framework on smartphones doesn't know the button component, the reasons are unknown to me. My question is: how do people usually get over this problem? I have know smartphone near me to check out, only a pda phone, which of course has touch screen and supports the button component.
What would you do ?
The lack of buttons is intentional as it violates Microsoft guidelines for smartphone platform. Instead you should use the menu, which for a thumb operated device is faster. It also helps to provide a common interface for all phone's applications.
If you need to have a button, you can easily create one of your own. see also this question.
