Facebook: Ignoring privacy settings for ads shown by third parties

So one day I was reading an article on Engadget and noticed something on the right side column...

Yep, Facebook activity! Creepy stuff... But I do vaguely remember taking the time to go through all my privacy options at once stage to disabling these sorta things.

So yet again I ventured off searching through the labyrinth. When I finally found the settings for friends and third party...

As expected, my settings were actually correct. Unsurprisingly, Facebook has decided to simply ignore the settings.

Fuck them cunts! I've had it!

I've removed or falsified the majority of my personal information, unliked/unlinked pages, uninstalled apps/games and removed interests.

If they're gonna just sell my shit off without respecting privacy options then I'll do my best to make it harder for them.

Considered closing my account, but I've some dev related things tied to it...

Fuck them cunts.

Android SDK: Move the location of virtual machines

Holy cow, because Windows Vista/7 keeps eating up my space on C:, I had to look for what was eating up my space.

To my surprise, "C:\Users\twig\.android\" was also taking up quite a bit of space also.

So, I decided to move it.

By default, the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME points to "C:\Users\twig\" (Windows Vista/7, should be different for XP).

To change yours (on Windows 7):

• Right click "My computer"
• "Properties"
• "Advanced system settings"
• "Environment Variables"
• Make sure that the Android SDK is not currently open
• Look for ANDROID_SDK_HOME
• Now you can change it to what you want. I wanted to move it to "D:\Android\"
• Now move your ".android" folder from "C:\Users\twig" to "D:\Android\"
• Open up all the ".ini" files in the ".android\avd" folder
• And finally, change the "path=" variable to work with the new path you've chosen.

That should be it! You can now fire it up and give it a test run.

Behold - the power of moving things around!
