  • How to Block Ads in Google Chrome
    One of the biggest reasons most Windows users are sticking with Firefox over Google Chrome is its extensibility—and the most popular Firefox extension by far among Lifehacker readers is Adblock Plus . In short, you use the free Privoxy web proxy software , which blocks web sites serving ads, and configure Google Chrome to use the proxy. However, I'm still seeing If annoying web site advertisements are the only thing holding you back from using Chrome, a user at the Geekzone forums explains how to block 'em without an extension.

  • Run Google Chrome in Ubuntu with WINE
    One helpful Ubuntu hacker blogger posts a guide to getting Google Chrome working as a stand-alone app in Ubuntu, using the latest version of the Windows translator WINE and a stand-alone copy of Chrome's installer. If you're not about to mess with WINE, try putting an emulated Chrome in its own window with our guide to running Windows apps seamlessly in Linux , or wait until the open-source browser eventually makes its way onto the open-source OS.

    There’s more to Google Calendar (GCal) than meets the eye. The difference is that with Google Calendar, even the smallest tweak can change it from a simple list of appointments to a comprehensive business tool. This may seem like common sense — after all, many people use Google Calendar to record their tasks.

  • A Hands-on First Look at Google Android
    As an open source advocate and developer with a serious love / hate relationship with my iPhone, I couldn't wait to get my paws on a device running Google's brand spankin' new open-source mobile phone operating system, Android —and I haven't been disappointed. I've spent the last four days using an HTC G1 phone running the first release of Android, and while it is not an iPhone-killer, it is a killer device for heavy Google users (like you and me). Let's take a look at why Android does—and doesn't—live up to its hype. Note: Since the iPhone I use as my primary phone is my sole experience with a touchscreen smartphone operating system, I'm going to base my Android observations on it, even though the iPhone is not the only touchscreen OS out there.
