New Version of Growl is Out There Do You Want to Update Now?

-
When I saw this popup on the upper right corner of my macbook, I started to think what date did I install this program? or what does this program do?

After a quick search I have found that Gmail Desktop alerts are using this 3rd party application. I have installed its 1.2.1 version which is around 6MB and hope that it will work better from now on.

I wish Growl added something about Google or Gmail into the text of the update notification.

Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser.

From the terminal invoke the adb command with remount option otherwise you will get "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system". adb remount 2. In the terminal pull the default hosts file from /system/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts which is the symlink of the file not only for backup purpose but also to get the file to modify. adb pull /system/etc/hosts /home/player/hostBackup/ 3. Get a copy of the the hosts file in your computer and modify it according to your needs. 4. Now we can push the file directly to the emulator. adb push /home/pla
