mSpot Stores 2 GB of Your Music Online and Streams It to Your Smartphone
Windows/Mac and iOS/Android: mSpot takes your iTunes playlists and other music and stores it on 2 GB of free server space. It then beams and syncs that music to a browser, an Android device, and, new today, iPhones and other iOS devices.
We've previously written on mSpot, but the addition of an iOS client makes it a lot more convenient for Mac users, and anyone rocking an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. One catch is that, with the free 2 GB plan, you can only sync or stream to one mobile device—an upgrade to the $3.99 per month plan with 40 GB of storage gives you more devices. Free or paid, mSpot is a really convenient way to stash a collection of music for listening anywhere you happen to be, without having to manually set playlists or remember to sync.
mSpot offers free clients for Windows and Mac, as well as clients in the Android and iPhone marketplaces. You can grab a free 2 GB account at the web site.

babble.ly
Instead of giving out your private phone number, Babble.ly can generate a unique URL and QR code that will connect callers with you without ever revealing your actual number.
Once registered, Babble.ly will provide you with a unique URL which other people can use to call you. Instead of actually seeing your number, however, the unique URL allows users to enter their own phone number and Babble.ly and call you both. Once you're both connected with Babble.ly the calls will be bridged together, never revealing either phone number. When you're done with the unique URL, you can keep it for later use, remove it from your account, or create a new one

Linux Installs
Listen everyone, this is VERY important. Do not attempt a Linux install to your hard drive unless you are following a guide AND have your windows product code AND windows reinstall disc available (unless you are overwriting windows). I cannot stress that enough. I have destroyed more than one copy of windows doing Linux installs without a guide.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
Update:if you are going to do a Linux install do it on a separate hard drive and you'll be fine.

Firesheep
Firesheep is a really cool extension that scans the wireless network you are on and gets cookies. and from those cookies it enables you to access the unencrypted parts of the website (from what I've read the only parts that usually are encrypted are the username/email and password). To install it all you have to do is download the file and open it in firefox and then download it as you would any other extension.
NOTE: I DO NOT CONDONE OR ENCOURAGE USING THIS TO HACK PEOPLES ACCOUNTS SUCH AS FACEBOOK OR TWITTER.
Update: this only works on unencrypted networks not on networks with WEP, WPA, or WPA2.

Android On Your PC
Here's A Link
Nexus One owners are reporting early Froyo updates already, but chances are, you don't own a Nexus One. Any mobile OS with apps has an SDK—a developer kit—which gives devs the tools needed to create and test apps for the platform. And any good SDK comes with an emulator for the OS itself, so devs can test apps without actually installing them on a phone. Apple's got one, but it only works on Macs. Microsoft's got one, but it only works on PCs. Google's Android emulator, on the other hand, works on any platform, and it's totally free. Here's how to load up Android Froyo on your desktop in just a few minutes.
