Do you want to try Android 2.2 on your PC? Perhaps even try the sample applications and build them?
You can achieve this by these three: Eclipse + Android SDK + ADT Plugin For Eclipse
(There is also a native development tool, however it’s not for newbies)

1. Download and extract Eclipse (Choose IDE for Java Developers package)
2. Download, extract and run SDK Setup in Android SDK
3. Install the Android Development Toolkit in Eclipse
4. Point the ADK to the directory where you’re keeping your Android SDK files (the same place where you extracted the SDK)
5. Run Eclipse, find menu item under Window -> Android SDK and AVK Manager
6. Install available “Android 2.2 Revision 8″ into ADK. Check this screenshot (I already installed 8 so it doesn’t show):



7. Create new virtual device with the Revision 8 support and some memory space (I used 512mb here)



8. Finally, either start debugging sample applications or just run Android OS with the Start button in Virtual Devices panel.

(At least I’m positive this time)

But they say Google knows too much? Meh, who doesn’t.

Google launched Google Dashboard which aggregates all of a user’s Google service accounts into a single page thus providing simple access to privacy settings and stuff like that.

“You can see in one place a summary of the data in all the Google products you use,” said the search giant in a statement. “You can also manage this data and change settings easily and quickly.”

Management or not, it’s pretty scary.

I’ve completely forgotten about that blog post I made in 2004 when I was completely smashed.

Google says I'm mind-boggingly handsome.

Ok, many of them are not really marvels; but there are excellent ones and their modelers certainly win 100 internets from me.

The very long overdue cleanup of MSN will become standard in the US early 2010.
(No words for other regions yet)

Microsoft‘s number one website will contain a new MSN butterfly logo which is redone with the font of Bing logo.

MSN with new look

Most importantly, there will be integrated sections for three social network streams:
Windows Live™ “What’s New”, Facebook™ and Twitter™.
(I hate that Trade Mark symbol so much)

I think old page stinks and this change should be activated publicly right now. Not that I use MSN for anything, it’s still much better looking. Some claim that it loads faster compared to old site.

Man, that old site is so 1994.

Extension is supported only on Chrome 4.0+ developer builds. For a good reason.

You can change your Google Chrome channel to DEV and get developer builds automatically.
(REMEMBER: This is ALPHA software, not even Beta, so don’t sue me if your facebook game terminates all of a sudden.)

AdBlock+ extension for Google Chrome does it’s job perfectly, based on lists and custom rules. (However, no content rating based blocking supported yet)

You simply install it and configure blocking rules based on any list you want. You can use just the custom rules of course.

For reference, here are some screenshots I prepared:
